Ingredients

Servings4

Yields 8 waffles

  • (2) large russet potatoes
  • (1) medium onion
  • (1) large egg
  • (1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • (1/2 tsp) baking powder
  • (1/2 tsp) garlic powder
  • (1/2 tsp) paprika
  • (1/4 tsp) black pepper
  • (1/2 tsp) salt
  • (1 tbsp) olive oil

Instructions

    Peel and grate the (2) large russet potatoes into a bowl.

    Finely chop the (1) medium onion and mix it with the grated potatoes.

  3. 3

    Squeeze out excess moisture from the potato and onion mixture using a clean kitchen towel.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated potato and onion with (1) large egg, (1/4 cup) all-purpose flour, (1/2 tsp) baking powder, (1/2 tsp) garlic powder, (1/2 tsp) paprika, (1/4 tsp) black pepper, and (1/2 tsp) salt.

  5. 5
