Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded potatoes (well-drained)
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (sharp cheddar recommended)
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
For Cooking
- Butter or oil, for greasing cooking surface
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Drain any excess moisture from the shredded potatoes to ensure crispiness. In a bowl, crack the egg, add shredded cheese, onion powder, salt, and pepper, then mix all ingredients together until evenly combined.
- Preheat Your Chaffle Maker or Pan: Heat your chaffle maker according to manufacturer instructions or warm a non-stick skillet on medium heat with a small amount of butter or oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the Chaffle: Drop a generous spoonful of the hashbrown mixture onto the cooking surface. If using a chaffle maker, press gently, then cook until the edges are golden and crisp, usually 3 to 5 minutes.
- Remove and Cool Slightly: Carefully remove the cooked chaffle with a spatula and let it rest for 1 to 2 minutes. This resting period allows the crispy texture to set perfectly.
- Enjoy Hot or Customize: Serve immediately while warm and crispy or add your favorite toppings and sides to enhance the dish.
Notes
- Dry the potatoes well by squeezing out excess water using a clean towel or paper towels to ensure crispiness.
- Use sharp cheddar or strong cheeses for better flavor and browning.
- Do not overfill the cooking surface; a thin layer cooks evenly and crisps up nicely.
- Cook on medium heat to allow the inside to cook without burning the outside.
- Let the chaffle rest for a minute before serving to stabilize the texture.
