Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 large russet potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil or melted butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon optional onion powder
  • 1 tablespoon optional cornstarch or flour

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel or wash the russet potatoes and shred them using a box grater or food processor. Soak the shredded potatoes in cold water for at least 5 minutes to reduce starch, then drain and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
  2. Season and Mix: Transfer the dried shredded potatoes to a bowl. Add salt, black pepper, optional onion powder, and if using, cornstarch or flour. Toss well to evenly distribute seasonings and binders.
  3. Preheat and Prepare Your Wafflemaker: Plug in your wafflemaker and allow it to fully heat. Lightly brush or spray the cooking surface with oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and encourage crisping.
  4. Cook the Hash Browns: Spoon a generous portion of the potato mixture into the center of the preheated wafflemaker. Close the lid gently and cook for 5 to 7 minutes until golden brown and crispy on the edges. Avoid opening early to keep their shape intact.
  5. Remove and Serve: Use a heat-safe spatula to carefully lift the waffle-shaped hash browns from the wafflemaker. Serve immediately for optimal crispness or keep warm in a low oven while preparing additional batches.

Notes

  • Dry shredded potatoes thoroughly to ensure crispiness.
  • Do not overfill the wafflemaker to avoid uneven cooking and soggy centers.
  • Let the wafflemaker heat fully for better browning results.
  • If your wafflemaker opens flat, flip halfway through cooking for even browning on both sides.
  • Enjoy the hash browns fresh, as they lose crispness once cooled.
