A new way to serve your classic mashed potatoes that makes them oh-so-crispy on the outside and soft and creamy on the inside. Serve these cheesy waffles on their own as a side dish with as much topping as you would like, or turn it into a taco shell. Put sausage, egg, and salsa for a delicious breakfast taco, or juicy pulled pork and slaw for a lunch or dinner option.

Ingredients

6 medium russet potatoes
4 tablespoons salted butter, softened
2 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
½ cup shredded Cheddar cheese

Directions

Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Prick potatoes several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Remove from the oven and set aside until cool enough to handle.
Preheat a nonstick waffle iron for medium heat according to manufacturer's instructions.
Scoop potato flesh into a large bowl with butter, milk, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper; mash until creamy. Stir in Cheddar cheese until evenly distributed. Discard potato skins or set aside for another use.
Place some potato mixture in the preheated waffle iron; do not cover the entire surface. Close the iron and the batter will spread out. Cook until brown and crispy, about 5 minutes. Repeat with remaining batter.

Cook's Note:

Every waffle iron is different but mine took 5 minutes to cook.
