I was reading a post by One Good thing by Jillee when I came
across one of her normal wonderful ideas that was a “must try” for me. I never would have come up with this idea,
but leave it to Jill… Hash browns using a waffle iron. Brilliant!
Not only are your hash browns done in under five minutes but
they are perfectly golden brown and extra crispy just the way I like them. I
will tell you that my waffle iron will alert you when your “waffles” are ready
which helps when you are patiently impatiently waiting for your hash
browns to be done. If you don’t have any alert or light indicator on your iron
no worries just keep checking them. You
don’t want your potato goodness to burn or be under cooked.
You can use either frozen hash browns or tatar tots. I used
the tatar tot rounds (they are thinner than your regular tatar tots) and to me
they came out perfect. I have a nonstick waffle iron, but I still sprayed it
down with some cooking spray, then added a little seasoning just for extra
flavor. As the hash browns are cooking you will need to keep squeezing the top
and the bottom of the waffle iron together. As they defrost you will want them smashed as tight as possible for the crispiness.
But hey why stop at hash browns? I made a grilled cheese too. Once again there is no need to turn on the stove when you can use your waffle iron.
