directions
- Preheat waffle iron. (If it has temperature adjustment, set it to medium.) If you want to keep finished waffled mashed potatoes warm, preheat oven to 225°F.
- In large bowl, whisk together oil, buttermilk, and eggs. Add mashed potatoes, green onions, bacon, and cheese. Mix well.
- In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Fold into potato mixture until evenly incorporated.
- Spray both sides of waffle iron with nonstick spray and place about 1/2 cup of potato mixture onto each section of waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes.
- Remove from waffle iron, place in preheated oven to keep warm, and repeat previous step with remaining batter.
- For a leftover Thanksgiving meal, serve topped with gravy, cranberry sauce, and/or turkey. For breakfast or brunch, serve topped with a fried egg.
