Main Ingredients
- 1 cup shredded potato (fresh or frozen, thawed and patted dry)
- 2 large eggs
- 3/4 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Oil or butter for greasing waffle maker
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Make sure the shredded potatoes are fully thawed and patted dry if using frozen to avoid soggy chaffles. Grate fresh cheese for best melting and flavor.
- Mix the Batter: In a medium bowl, combine shredded potato, eggs, shredded cheese, coconut flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed and the batter is cohesive.
- Preheat the Waffle Iron: Heat your waffle maker on medium heat and lightly grease with oil or melted butter to prevent sticking and help create a crispy crust.
- Cook the Chaffles: Spoon the batter evenly onto the waffle iron (do not overfill). Close the lid and cook for 4–6 minutes or until the chaffles are golden brown and crisp. Avoid opening the lid early to maintain shape.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove the chaffles with a spatula and place on a cooling rack for a minute to preserve crispness before serving.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from shredded potatoes using a clean towel to prevent soggy chaffles.
- Use just enough batter to cover the waffle maker surface for even cooking; do not overfill.
- Cook on medium heat to avoid burning while ensuring the cheese crisps and the chaffle cooks thoroughly.
- Experiment with different cheeses to find your preferred flavor and texture combination.
- Cool chaffles on a wire rack to stop steam buildup and maintain their crunch.
