Hash Brown Waffles with Egg & Cheese
Easy and delicious and perfect for a weekend brunch or make ahead breakfast, these Hash Brown Waffles are filled with eggs, cheese and potatoes and cooked in your waffle maker!
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 20 ounce Package Shredded Hash Browns refrigerated
- 3 Large eggs
- 1/4 cup Milk
- 1 cup Shredded sharp Cheddar Cheese
- 1/4 cup Fresh chopped chives plus some for garnishing
- Salt & pepper
- Sour cream for serving, if desired
Instructions
- Heat waffle iron on the medium-high setting. Spray each side generously with non-stick cooking spray or brush with melted butter.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together eggs and milk. Stir in potatoes, cheese, chives and season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
- Depending on the size of your waffle iron, scoop a layer of the potato mixture onto the surface (for the round waffle maker, I used about 1 cup of the mixture). Spread to about 1/2 inch from the edges and close the waffle iron. Cook for about 5 minutes, checking every few minutes to avoid burning. When the entire waffle is golden brown in color, carefully remove from the waffle iron with a fork or tongs.
Notes
- You can also use frozen hash browns, just make sure they're completely thawed, then squeeze out as much liquid as possible using a clean kitchen towel.
- Squeeze out excess moisture from hash browns with paper towels for crispiness.
- Spray waffle maker generously with nonstick cooking spray before every batch to prevent sticking.
- Use about 1 cup of hash brown mixture per waffle (adjust based on your waffle maker size).
- Leave about ½ inch around the edges when spreading hash browns so they have room to expand.
- Cook for about 5 minutes on medium-high until deeply golden brown. Check after 4-5 minutes and adjust time for your specific waffle maker.
- Don't open the waffle maker too early or hash browns may tear or stick.
- Keep finished waffles warm in a low oven (200°F or "warm" setting) on a baking sheet while cooking the rest.
- Reheat leftovers in a toaster, air fryer, or oven to restore crispiness. Avoid microwaving.
- Freeze cooked waffles for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in a toaster, air fryer, or oven.
