Method
- The Blitz (Crucial Step): Unlike traditional hash browns, you want to put your potatoes, onion, eggs, milk, and oil into a blender or food processor. Blitz until you have a smooth, pourable liquid.
- Combine: Pour your potato liquid into a large bowl. Whisk in the flour, baking powder, and seasonings until the batter is uniform. It should be the consistency of a thick pancake batter.
- The Pour: Use the WaffleUp measuring cup. Pour the batter steadily into the top funnel. Tip: Because potato starch can settle, give the batter a quick whisk immediately before each scoop.
- Bake: Use a higher setting (Level 4 or 5). Potato waffles take slightly longer to crisp up than flour-based ones. Wait for the beep!
- The Reveal: Open the handle carefully. You’ll have a perfectly round, golden-brown potato waffle with that signature "grated" texture look on the surface, but a soft, fluffy middle.
Notes
Making a potato waffle in a vertical maker like the WaffleUp is a total game-changer, but it does require a slightly different approach than a standard sweet waffle.
Because the WaffleUp relies on gravity and a narrow funnel, you can’t just throw in thick shredded potatoes—they’ll get stuck! Instead, we use a smooth potato batter (inspired by the official CASO “Marco’s Potato Waffles” method) to ensure it flows perfectly through the machine.
