Crispy Homemade Potato Waffles: An Easy & Delicious Recipe
Give your leftover mash a tasty makeover and transform it into crispy, golden potato waffles.. This easy recipe not only reduces food waste but also delivers a versatile dish perfect for brunch, lunch, or a light dinner.
Load them up with your favourite toppings, and you’ve got a meal that is as satisfying as it is sustainable.
Organic egg vs chia egg
I am using an organic egg here (courtesy of our rescue hens!) because the waffles hold slightly better together with it rather than with a chia egg.
If you are using a chia egg, make sure that once cooked, you remove the waffle very carefully from the waffle iron.
What type of toppings work best with these potato waffles?
Needless to say that you can pretty much use whatever you like for toppings. One rule only… keep it colourful.
In the picture above, I have used a mixture of raw ingredients I had in the fridge: watercress, herby dairy-free yoghurt, tomatoes, cucumber, radish, red onion, avocado and microgreens.
Other ideas include beetroot, pepper, grated carrot, steamed broccoli, baby spinach leaves etc…
For the second waffle, I have used watercress, tomatoes, avocado, vegan bacon and some maple syrup. Delish!

How to make these potato waffles
I had quite a lot of mash leftover when I decided to make this recipe. 650g (US 3 cups) of mash make 4 large waffles. If you have less mash, simply reduce the amount of (dairy-free) butter, spring onion and garlic powder proportionally. You can keep the egg (or the vegan chia egg) as is.
You can put your waffle iron to heat up while you are preparing the mash mixture. When your waffle iron is hot enough, and you are ready to cook your first waffle, make sure you grease the waffle plates really well. I use a setting of 4 on my waffle maker. It has a maximum setting of 7.
Once you have mixed all the ingredients, spread the mash mixture so it covers 3/4 of the waffle plate. Close and cook for 5 minutes until crisp and golden. Conveniently, my waffle maker beeps to let me know the waffles are ready! Do not open the waffle iron while the waffle is cooking.
I hope you enjoy this potato waffle recipe as much as we do. If you do make it, don’t forget to tag me on Instagram!
