Savory Potato Waffles or Latkes

Savory Potato Waffles

I'm a girl who prefers savory over sweets any day.  I bought a small indoor grill and got the waffle maker attachment, thinking it might be fun. Aside from your traditional waffle, this potato waffle is outstanding and is packed with yummy veggies.  If you don't have a waffle maker, don't freight.  This recipe can easily be translated into to a simply pan fried potato Lakte.  Furthermore, it would be a perfect compliment to the eggs Benedict recipe that I posted among other so many other things...

Begin by peeling and par boiling the potatoes in salted water for 6-8 minutes.  The idea is that you want to cook the potatoes essentially half way to being fully cooked.  Drain potatoes and allow to drain over paper towel (to remove extra moisture) and refrigerate. Once chilled, grate potatoes on the corser side of the grater.  It is much easier to grate the potatoes when they are cold.  Grate or chop vegetables and place in a bowl with grated potatoes.  Whisk egg, sour cream, and seasonings in a separate bowl and add the rest of the ingredients.  Combine all the ingredients thoroughly.  Set your grill with waffle attachment to the appropriate setting for waffles and allow to preheat, it should be 400 to 425 degrees. Transfer mixture evenly into waffle maker and cook for 8-12 minutes or until potato waffles are golden brown.  If you do not have a waffle maker, preheat a pan to medium-high and add 3 tbsp of olive oil. Form 1/2 cup shaped pancakes and place in the pan without crowding.  Cook on both sides until golden brown.  Enjoy! This recipe would also be delicious with the addition of your choice of grated cheese, I like Parmesan.
