Now these were super yummy.
These aren't your grandmother's waffles. These are essentially potatoes cooked to crispy perfection in a waffle iron. Add in ham, cheese, herbs and you have an amazing treat.
I served them with sour cream to which I had added some green onions.
The recipe makes a lot so today I'll have them with a fried egg on top. Hello!
Enjoy.
Hash Brown, Ham and Cheese Waffles
1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated shredded hash brown potatoes
8 ounces black forest ham, diced
1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cloves garlic minced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine hash brown potatoes, ham, cheese, eggs, garlic, parsley, thyme and paprika; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour a scant 1/2 cup of the potato mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Serve immediately.
