These loaded potato waffles are a gluten free and grain free brunch recipe that’s sure to impress your weekend guests!

 Guys. I got a waffle maker and I’m officially obsessed. I’ve made a waffle legit every single weekend for the past month and I don’t feel bad about it (#pregnant). Today I wanted to switch things up with a savoury take on the waffle- my loaded potato waffles! It’s basically the love child between a traditional waffle and a massive hash brown and it is OMG so good. It’s also gluten free and grain free, so it’s perfect for guests with intolerances.

How to Make Loaded Potato Waffles

So this is pretty simple and really, the sky is the limit when it comes to flavours. You basically just mix grated potatoes with some eggs, cheese, and seasonings (I went for chives, because why not?) and pack it into your waffle maker. Then, because that wouldn’t be excessive enough, I top it off with a poached eggs, some greek yogurt or sour cream, bacon bits and some more cheese. My hubby took one bite and said, “Yep. I’m eating this.” And eating these loaded potato waffles he did.

Not into meat? No problem. Skip the bacon and double up on cheese.

No time to grate potatoes? All good! Most grocery stores sell pre-shredded potatoes in the produce aisle or frozen.

Want to meld together the sweet and savoury? You can totally make these more like latkes and serve them with a little apple sauce on top. Yes, these MIGHT be making an appearance at my Hannukah party.
