Waffles Recipe ∞ Potato Waffles

Here's a quick and delicious way to use up those leftover mashed potatoes. You WILL need a waffle iron. These are basically potato pancakes (a.k.a. latkes) but without all the greasy clean-up and calories from pan-frying. I usually serve them with fish or chicken and sauteed apples.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 onion, chopped
• 1 tablespoon minced garlic
• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• ¼ cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

Cooking Directions

1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Cook and stir onion and garlic in the melted butter until onion is tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
4. Combine onion mixture, mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, salt, and black pepper in a large bowl until well blended.
5. Scoop 1/4 to 1/2 cup batter (depending on size of waffle iron) into the center of waffle iron and close lid. Cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes.
