Waffle Iron Hashbrowns
Ingredients
- 1 (20oz) package frozen hashbrowns, thawed
- 3 Tbsp. melted butter
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 cup chopped ham
- ½ cup chopped red bell peppers
- 1/3 cup chopped green bell peppers
- 3 eggs, beaten
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp freshly ground pepper
- Sour cream, for serving, optional
Directions
- Preheat waffle iron to medium-high.
- Place thawed hashbrowns in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze 2-3 times to remove some excess liquid. Alternately, place in a strainer and press out excess liquid.
- Combine hashbrowns, melted butter, cheese, ham and peppers in a large bowl. Add beaten eggs, garlic salt and pepper and gently stir until well combined.
- Spray waffle iron with cooking spray and add enough of the potato mixture to fill your waffle iron within an inch of the sides (a heaping ½ cup for most waffle irons).
- Close and cook for 3-4 minutes until brown and crispy. Don’t overcook or the waffles will become dry.
- Makes about 6 waffles.
