Equipment
Ingredients
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/4 teaspoon cumin
- 1/4 teaspoon salt*
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 large egg
- 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes, at room temperature
- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour*
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sliced scallions
- Toppings: Sliced Avocado, Salsa, Hot Sauce, Sour Cream, etc.
Instructions
- Whisk together the garlic powder, chili powder, cumin, salt, pepper, oil, baking powder, baking soda, and egg in a large bowl.
- Add the mashed potatoes, tapioca flour, shredded cheese, and scallions and stir until combined.
- Preheat your waffle maker, then once it's heated, lightly spray with oil.
- Add the batter to your waffle maker, about 1/3 cup-1/2 cup, depending on the waffle iron size. Cook. The waffles should be deep golden brown and crispy. If you need to cook them longer, then go ahead and do so.
- Remove and top, then enjoy immediately. These taste best right out of the waffle iron!
Notes
*You can also use regular flour, tapioca flour will make for a crispier waffle! Depending on the saltiness of your mashed potatoes, you can add more/less salt. You can skip the garlic powder if your leftover mashed potatoes contain garlic.
