Crispy Cheesy Potato Waffles

01Method

1. 1

   Heat oven to 450°F (230°C). Pierce each potato multiple times with a fork and arrange on a baking sheet.

2. 2

   Roast until a fork slides in easily, 50 minutes to 1 hour. Let cool until safe to handle.

3. 3

   Warm a nonstick waffle iron to medium heat following the manufacturer's directions.

4. 4

   Scoop out the potato flesh into a large bowl. Add butter, milk, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper, then mash until smooth. Fold in the cheddar until evenly mixed. Discard or reserve the skins.

5. 5

   Spoon some of the potato mixture onto the waffle iron — no need to fill it completely. Close the lid; the mixture will spread on its own. Cook until golden and crisp, about 5 minutes. Continue with the remaining mixture.
