Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 20 ounce Package Shredded Hash Browns (refrigerated)
- 3 Large eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 cup Fresh chopped chives (plus some for garnishing)
- 1/2 teaspoon Salt
- 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper
For Serving
- Sour cream (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Heat your waffle iron on the medium-high setting. Generously spray each side with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter to prevent sticking and help crisp the waffles.
- Prepare the batter: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. Stir in the shredded hash browns, shredded sharp cheddar cheese, chopped fresh chives, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Cook the waffles: Depending on the size of your waffle iron, scoop about 1 cup of the potato mixture onto the surface. Spread the mixture to about 1/2 inch from the edges to ensure even cooking. Close the waffle iron and cook for approximately 5 minutes, checking every few minutes to prevent burning. When the waffle is golden brown and crisp, carefully remove it using a fork or tongs.
- Serve: Serve the hash brown waffles warm, garnished with additional chopped chives and a dollop of sour cream if desired.
Notes
- For best results, use refrigerated shredded potatoes rather than frozen for optimal texture.
- You can customize by adding cooked bacon bits or diced onions for extra flavor.
- Be careful when removing the waffles to keep their shape intact.
- Waffle irons may vary in cooking time; adjust as needed to avoid burning.
