If sweet waffles aren’t your jam, try these cheesy, savory potato waffles. Similar to sizzling hash browns or crispy potato pancakes, this recipe starts with a large batch of grated potatoes. Add eggs and gluten-free flour to bind the mixture and baking powder for a light texture. Garlic powder, onion powder, freshly chopped chives and a cup of cheddar cheese provide the satisfying zest. Pull out the waffle iron and put it to work! Drizzle warm waffles with syrup for a little sweet with your salty, or top with fried eggs for the ultimate breakfast.
