Ingredients

For the waffles:

350 g potatoes

1 egg yolk

60 g wheat flour (t45–t110)

50 g grated Comté cheese

A pinch of salt

6 cl milk (dairy or plant-based)

Optional toppings (garnish your waffles as you like):

Red pesto (pesto rosso)

Fresh salad leaves

Slices of cooked chicken breast

Cheddar cheese

Fresh tomato slices

Instructions

Note: For the best taste and crunch, serve the waffles immediately after cooking.

Prepare the potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes as finely as possible. Squeeze gently with your hands to remove some water.

Mix the batter: In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, egg yolk, flour, grated Comté cheese, salt, and milk. Mix until you get a smooth, homogenous batter.

Cook the waffles: Preheat and lightly oil a waffle iron. Pour the batter into the waffle molds, making sure the layers aren’t too thick or too thin. Cook for 8–13 minutes, checking regularly, until golden and crispy.

Serve and enjoy: Add your favorite toppings, such as pesto, salad, cheese, or chicken, and enjoy immediately for maximum crunch.

Tips for Perfect Potato Waffles

Milk choice: Use plant-based milk to make a lighter, dairy-free version.

Cheese variations: Swap Comté for Gruyère or cheddar for a different flavor.

Crispiness: For extra crispiness, serve immediately after cooking. Leftover waffles can be reheated in a toaster or oven to restore crunch.

Creative toppings: Try smoked salmon, avocado, or even a poached egg for a brunch twist.

Variations

Mini Potato Waffles: Make small-sized waffles for appetizers or snacks.

Herb Waffles: Add finely chopped parsley, chives, or thyme to the batter for added flavor.

Vegan Version: Replace the egg yolk with a flaxseed or chia egg and use plant-based cheese.
