Hash Brown Waffles

Ingredients

• cooking spray
• 1 pound yellow potatoes, shredded
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

Steps

1. Preheat the waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions. Grease the waffle iron with cooking spray.
2. Place potatoes in a medium bowl. Pour in enough cold water to cover potatoes; soak for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and rinse to remove starch. Squeeze water from potatoes by hand or roll in a clean kitchen towel and twist the towel to wring out water.
3. Toss potatoes with oil, garlic, salt, pepper, and paprika in a large bowl until evenly coated. Stir eggs into potato mixture until well combined.
4. Spoon 1/2 of the potato mixture into the preheated waffle iron; close and cook until potatoes are tender and golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Repeat with remaining potato mixture.
