Wafflemaker Hash Browns

Ingredients

  • One 30-ounce bag frozen shredded hash browns thawed
  • 4 tablespoons butter melted
  • ¾ cup grated Cheddar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • olive oil cooking spray, for spraying the waffle iron
  • chives and herbs for garnish
  • 2 eggs optional

Instructions

  1. Preheat the waffle maker on the regular setting and spray liberally both sides with the olive oil cooking spray.

  2. Squeeze out any excess moisture from the hash browns and put in a bowl.

  3. Pour the melted butter over the hash browns, sprinkle with salt and pepper, then stir.

  4. Scoop a heaping ½ cup of the seasoned hash browns into each waffle section, then top with a generous 2 tablespoons of Cheddar, followed by a sprinkling of the chopped ham.

  5. Top the cheese and ham in each section with another ⅓ cup of hash browns.

  6. Close the waffle maker and cook for 20-25 minutes on the regular setting.

  7. Open the lid and let the hash browns rest in the waffle maker for 3 minutes before removing. This tip helps to remove and crisp up the hash browns.

  8. Repeat with the remaining hash browns, cheese and ham, filling one section of the waffle maker.

  9. Top the hash browns with the eggs, either poached or sunny side up.
