Mashed Potato Waffles with Chinese language Sausage

Once I was a teen, I might typically come dwelling from college feeling extremely hungry. There weren’t many snacks in my home, however I might all the time discover packets of prompt mashed potatoes that my household purchased from Costco. So I cooked these prompt mashed potatoes and added sautéed Chinese language sausage and onions for extra taste. Consuming mashed potatoes whereas watching the Golden Women turned a day ritual.

As a nod to the culinary adventures of my youth, I made mashed potato waffles with Chinese language sausage. I like how the waffle iron creates skinny and crisp pockets that distinction properly with the gentle texture of the mashed potatoes. The sliced scallions additionally give a stunning aromatic taste to the waffles. These mashed potato waffles are nice on their very own or served with my candy chili sauce or any sort of chili crisp!

COOKING NOTES FOR MASHED POTATO WAFFLES

WAFFLE MAKERS

There are such a lot of totally different waffle irons out there that are available in varied sizes and shapes. I sometimes use this sq. Cuisinart waffle maker (affiliate hyperlink), however a lot of you doubtless personal a waffle maker of a distinct model or form. Due to this fact, the cooking occasions for these totally different waffle irons may not be the identical. Use the cooking occasions outlined within the recipe as a tough information.

In case you are pressed for time and need to make the mashed potatoes and waffles on the identical day, you can also make the mashed potatoes within the morning. Then, unfold the cooked mashed potatoes over plates and let it chill within the fridge for a couple of hours earlier than utilizing it to make waffles.

Prep Time20 minutes minutes

Prepare dinner Time30 minutes minutes

Elements

• 2 1/2 cups (about 560g) leftover mashed potatoes, chilled in a single day (see word 1)
• 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, quantity measured with the spoon-and-sweep technique

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, plus extra for brushing waffle iron
• 1/2 cup (about 70g) finely chopped Chinese language sausage, (see word 3)

Directions

• Warmth a waffle maker at medium warmth. Pour some olive oil right into a bowl for greasing the waffle iron. As soon as pre-heated, brush olive oil excessive and backside plates of the waffle iron.

• Put among the mashed potato combination into your waffle iron. My waffle iron makes 4 small square-shaped waffles, and I take advantage of a big cookie scoop to place about 1/3 cup of the mashed potato combination into every quadrant. If in case you have a round Belgian waffle iron, you could need to put extra batter within the middle to create a bigger waffle.

• Shut the waffle maker and cook dinner the waffles for five minutes. Open the lid and verify the colour of the waffles. If they’re frivolously golden (such as you see within the picture under), cook dinner the waffles for one more 2 to three minutes. If the waffles have barely browned, they’ll want a couple of extra minutes. The underside plates of my waffle iron run hotter than the highest, so I prefer to flip the waffles after 5 minutes to make sure that either side are cooked evenly. Prepare dinner the waffles till the ridges are golden and the pockets are a wealthy brown shade, a sign that the pockets are crispy.

• Switch the cooked waffles to a cooling rack and proceed cooking the remaining waffles. Serve them heat with my candy chili sauce or any sort of chili crisp!
