My aunt & uncle gifted me a waffle maker for my birthday this year (something I had been wanting for awhile), and I’ve been itching to pull it out & put it to good use.
 
After recently finishing a Whole30, I wasn’t looking for something sweet to drown in maple syrup~  but thought it would be fun to test out something more savory.  I decided on these “hash brown waffles”, and absolutely love how they turned out.
 
I have issues when it comes to cooking regular old hash browns in a pan… They never turn out quite right for me.  The waffle maker, however, made hash brown life easy.  
 
The hash browns look adorable, like fluffy potato-ey waffles… but taste like the perfect hash brown with a soft inside & crisp outside.  Seriously the best thing I’ve ever put beneath a fried egg.

 

To see these waffles in action (and me in my awkwardness…) head over to YouTube, and watch the video!  🙂

Let me know if you give these a try!  I think they would be a fun addition to lunch or dinner too.  Enjoy!

Hash Brown Waffles | Paleo/Whole30

Servings: 4
Calories: 265kcal

Ingredients

  • 4 cups shredded hash browns (frozen or freshly grated)
  • 2 tbsp butter or ghee
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tbsp coconut flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp dried onion

Instructions

  • Heat the waffle maker to medium (or just turn it to "on" if yours doesn't have heat settings).
  • Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small bowl and set aside.
  • Place your hash browns in a large mixing bowl.  If you're working with frozen hash browns, heat them in the microwave for 30 seconds at a time until they are thawed.
  • Add the eggs, coconut flour, and spices to the hash browns, and stir until combined.
  • Brush the waffle iron with melted butter on both sides to prevent sticking.  Scoop about 1/2 cup of the hash brown mixture into the center of the iron.  Close the waffle maker tight to smash down the mixture.
  • Cook each waffle for about 4 minutes, or until it turns golden brown on the outside.
  • Repeat steps 5-6 until you've made all of your waffles, then enjoy warm!  Leftovers store well in the refrigerator.
