I like to garnish these great mashed potato waffles with sour cream and chives, or even a simple cheese sauce. My mother used to sprinkle them with a touch of sugar. —Laura Fall-Sutton, Buhl, Idaho

Bacon Potato Waffle Tips

What can I use instead of a waffle iron?

Instead of a waffle iron, trying making waffles on a grill pan. Preheat the pan to medium heat, then brush with oil. Ladle on the batter onto the pan with a ¼ or ½ measuring cup, then lower the heat. Cook on one side for 3-4 minutes; flip and cook the other side 3-4 more minutes. Waffles made on a grill pan will not have the same crispy brown edges as those made in a waffle iron, but they’ll have nice grooves to collect the syrup or applesauce.

Can you reheat potato waffles?

Yes, you can reheat potato waffles. Bake in a single layer on a baking sheet at 300° until heated through. You can also pop them back into the waffle maker for a few minutes to warm them up.

What else can I make with leftover mashed potatoes?

You can make lots of things with leftover mashed potatoes, like shepherd’s pie, doughnuts and brownies. Check out the best waffle maker brands, according to our Test Kitchen. Research contributed by Mark Neufang, Taste of Home Culinary Assistant
