Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups frozen shredded hashbrowns, thawed and drained
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your preferred cheese)
- 4 slices turkey bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons milk (or any non-dairy alternative)
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray or a small amount of oil for the waffle iron
Optional Toppings:
- Sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- Chopped green onions or chives
- Sliced avocado
- Hot sauce or sriracha
- Additional shredded cheese
Instructions
- Preheat the waffle iron: Plug in your waffle iron and let it preheat according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Lightly coat it with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
- Cook the turkey bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the turkey bacon until crispy. Remove and crumble into small pieces. Set aside.
- Prepare the waffle batter: In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded hashbrowns, shredded cheese, crumbled turkey bacon, eggs, flour, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
- Assemble the waffles: Scoop about ¾ cup of the mixture (or the amount recommended for your waffle iron) into the center of the preheated waffle iron. Spread the mixture out evenly and close the lid.
- Cook the waffles: Cook the hashbrown waffles for 8-10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Cooking times may vary depending on your waffle iron, so check for doneness.
- Remove and repeat: Carefully remove the waffle from the iron and place it on a wire rack to keep it crisp. Repeat with the remaining mixture, reapplying cooking spray as needed.
- Serve and garnish: Serve the waffles warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, chopped green onions, or hot sauce. Enjoy!
