Potato Waffles with Bacon and Cheese

Ingredients

• 5 medium potatoes (shredded)
• 1 tbsp salt (to dehydrate the potato)
• 400 g Manchego cheese (shredded)
• 1 egg
• pepper (to taste)
• 0.5 cup sour cream
• 0.33 cup all-purpose flour (plain flour)
• 400 g bacon (previously fried and chopped)
• 1 tsp baking powder
• oil or butter (to grease the waffle maker)
• chives (chopped, for garnish)
• maple syrup (for serving)

Steps

1. 1

   Grate the 5 medium potatoes and place them in a colander.

2. 2

   Add one tablespoon of salt to the shredded potatoes and let them rest for 10 minutes so they release as much liquid as possible.

3. 3

   Squeeze the potatoes well to remove excess moisture and place them in a large bowl.

4. 4

   Add the sour cream, flour, shredded Manchego cheese, previously fried and chopped bacon, egg, baking powder, and pepper to taste to the bowl.

5. 5

   Mix all ingredients until they are well combined.

6. 6

   Preheat and grease your waffle maker with a bit of oil or butter.

7. 7

   Place a portion of the mixture in the waffle maker and cook for approximately 6 minutes, or until the waffle is golden brown and cooked through.

8. 8

   Serve the waffles hot and accompany with chopped chives and maple syrup to taste.

Notes

It is essential to squeeze the potato very well after the 10-minute rest with salt to ensure the waffles stay crispy and not soggy.
