Who knew that waffles and hashbrowns could be one and the same?
- 4 medium sized potatoes
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Dried oregano
- Dried thyme
- Wafflemaker
1. Start by washing and peeling the potatoes. Then, grate them using a box grater or a food processor with a grating attachment.
2. Once grated, place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess water. This step is important to get crispy hash browns.
3. Preheat your wafflemaker according to the manufacturer's instructions. Brush the wafflemaker plates with olive oil to prevent the hash browns from sticking.
4. In a bowl, mix the grated potatoes with salt, pepper, dried oregano, and dried thyme. The amount of seasoning depends on your preference, but start with 1/4 teaspoon of each and adjust according to your taste.
5. Once the wafflemaker is heated, place a handful of the seasoned grated potatoes onto the center of the waffle plates. Spread the potatoes evenly to cover the entire surface of the waffle plates.
6. Close the wafflemaker and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the hash browns are golden brown and crispy. The cooking time may vary depending on your wafflemaker and the thickness of the potatoes.
7. Use a fork or a spatula to carefully remove the hash browns from the wafflemaker. Serve hot and enjoy your delicious wafflemaker hash browns!
You can also experiment with different seasonings and spices, such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning to add more flavor to your hash browns. Serve them as a side dish with eggs for breakfast or as a tasty snack any time of the day. Enjoy!
