Cooking method

Step 1:

How do you make potato waffles in a waffle iron? Gather your ingredients. Rinse and dry the vegetables first. Add the garlic and herbs to taste, or leave them out. Use potato starch, since these are potato waffles, and an odorless, refined oil.
Step 2:

Peel the potatoes, onion, and garlic. The recipe lists the weight of the potatoes already peeled.
Step 3:

Grate all the vegetables on the finest holes of a grater (as you would for potato pancakes). I used a food processor.
Step 4:

Tip the grated potato into a sieve to drain off the excess liquid; 5–6 minutes is enough.
Step 5:

Wash, dry, and finely chop the herbs (I'm using dill and parsley).
Step 6:

Put the grated potato in a bowl, add salt and pepper to taste and the chopped herbs, and mix the batter well.
Step 7:

Now beat in the eggs and mix well again. Always wash your eggs before using them — even a shell that looks clean can carry harmful bacteria. A food-safe wash and a brush work best.
Step 8:

Add the sifted flour and starch, and knead the batter well once more.
Step 9:

This is the consistency you're after — thick and even. Let it rest for 5–7 minutes.
Step 10:

Meanwhile, turn on the electric waffle iron to heat up and brush the plates with vegetable oil.
Step 11:

Spoon a portion of batter onto each section of the iron, smooth it out, close the lid, and bake the waffles until golden.
Step 12:

Baking time depends on your waffle iron model. They should come out golden, toasted, and crisp.
Step 13:

Here's how the waffles turn out. Serve them hot.
Step 14:

Potato waffles are especially tasty with sour cream.
Step 15:

Enjoy!

Important! Keep in mind that all waffle irons are different. You may need to lightly oil the plates with a high-smoke-point oil when baking the first waffle, to keep it from sticking.
Every waffle iron heats differently, so the exact timing can only be found by trial. It might take just 30 seconds, or it might take 2–3 minutes. Adjust the baking time in the recipe to suit your own iron.
The longer the waffles bake, the crispier they get — just don't overdo it, or they'll burn. Brown them to a golden hue. If you prefer them soft, cut the baking time short (just bake them until lightly golden).
