Cheesy Leftover Mashed Potato Waffles





Yields
Makes 8-10 Belgian waffles or 12-14 regular waffles



Total Time
35 mins

Think of these crisp, savory delights as a cross between a latke and a waffle. Dolloped extra-small, they’re great as appetizers, and the same batter (thinned with a bit of milk) makes outrageous pancakes. Turn your leftover mashed potatoes into something great with your waffle iron. Serve these as a savory brunch option alongside scrambled eggs. The outside of the waffles will be crisp while the sour cream adds a cool texture and the final sprinkle of bacon and green onions brighten and finish the dish. 

 3 cups cooked mashed potatoes
 2 large eggs
 3/4 cup flour
 1 teaspoon salt
 1 1/2 cups coarsely shredded sharp cheddar cheese
 4 green onions, chopped, divided
  Sour cream or Crème Fraîche, for topping
 8 strips crisp-cooked bacon, crumbled
