Cheddar-Mashed Potato "Latke" Waffles with Garlic Olive Oil

---

Ingedients

• 2 cups cold or room temperature mashed potatoes (preferably unseasoned)
• 1 cup bleached all purpose flour or 1/2 potato flour (starch)
• 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 large scallions thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup garlic olive oil
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 2 teaspoons salt (less for pre-seasoned mashed potatoes)
• fresh ground pepper to taste
• Sour cream (optional for serving)

Directions

Heat the waffle maker. Meanwhile add all the ingredients to a large bowl including 1/2 of the scallions, and whisk thoroughly.

Grease the hot waffle iron well. Add 1/3 cup for each waffle. Cook until golden brown on the inside, about 5 minutes per waffle. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, additional scallions, and hot sauce, if desired.

Serves 6-8
