Ingredients

Scale

Chaffle Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup frozen shredded hashbrowns (thawed and squeezed dry)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour (optional for extra crisp)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or a bit of oil for greasing

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Waffle Maker: Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions and spray it lightly with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix the Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the thawed and well-drained hashbrowns, one large egg, shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese, optional almond flour for extra crispiness, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir until well combined.
  3. Cook: Pour half of the hashbrown mixture into the center of the preheated waffle maker. Close the lid and cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the chaffle is golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  4. Repeat: Carefully remove the cooked chaffle from the waffle maker, then pour the remaining mixture in and cook the second chaffle using the same method.
  5. Serve: Enjoy the hashbrown chaffles plain or add your favorite toppings such as sour cream, green onions, or avocado for a tasty breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • Make sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the thawed hashbrowns to help the chaffle crisp up better.
  • Almond flour is optional but adds extra crispness and structure to the chaffle.
  • Feel free to customize the cheese type to your preference for different flavor profiles.
  • Cooking time may vary slightly depending on your waffle maker model.
  • Leftover chaffles can be refrigerated and reheated in a toaster or oven for best texture.
