FAQS

  2. What can I substitute for eggs in this recipe?

    You can use flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with water as a vegan substitute for eggs. Use 1 tablespoon of flaxseed meal or chia seeds mixed with 2.5 tablespoons of water for each egg.

    The potato waffle is done when it is crispy and golden brown. You can check by carefully opening the waffle maker after 8 minutes.

  4. Can I make the potato mixture ahead of time?

    It's best to prepare the potato mixture just before cooking to prevent browning. If you need to prepare it ahead, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a few hours.

  5. What toppings can I use besides the suggested ones?

    You can customize your potato waffle with various toppings such as cheese, sour cream, sautéed vegetables, or even a spicy salsa for added flavor.
