Potato Waffles Recipe - Chef Marian Getz

Makes 4 waffles

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups mashed potatoes
1 teaspoon kosher salt (you may need less if your potatoes are seasoned)
2 eggs, separated (whites will be whipped separately)
1/4 cups melted butter
2 cups buttermilk
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda

Procedure:
1. In a large bowl, whisk together potatoes, salt, egg yolks, butter and buttermilk. Fold into dry ingredients.
2. Whip egg whites to soft peaks and fold into batter.
3. Spray preheated Grill & Bake Express with nonstick baking spray.
Scoop up a slightly rounded cup of batter and pour into the center of the baker. Using the bottom of the cup, gently but quickly nudge the batter towards the edges to even it out. Close the lid and flip over. Bake for 5 minutes until golden brown or to the desired doneness.

Presentation:
The potatoes give these waffles a tender texture and a very fine crumb, a great use for leftover mashed potatoes.

Note: 
Grill & Bake Express is basically an electric grill with attachable waffle plates. If you don't own a Grill & Bake Express machine, try an ordinary waffle maker.
