500 g(1 pound)potatoespeeled. Choose a low starch potato type; I've used red skin potatoes.
50 g(1/2 cup)Parmigiano Reggiano cheesegrated. Or Parmesan, Cheddar...
28 g(2 tbsp)vegetable oil
1 (53 g)eggbeaten
180 g(1+1/2 cup)all purpose flouror cornstarch: if you use cornstarch the amount could vary
salt
Instructions
Boil peeled potatoes in salted water until fork tender.
Finely mash potatoes when still hot, add Parmigiano cheese, oil and combine.
Incorporate the beaten egg.
Add flour in few times and combine: you may need a bit more/less flour, it depends on the potato type you used. You should get a non-sticky (or very low sticky) dough.
Add salt to the dough if needful according to your taste.
Preheat a waffle maker at the max. heat.
Meanwhile split the potato dough into 3 pieces about 260 g each one, form into balls and press with floured hands until get 3 discs about 1,5cm thick and 14cm diameter ech one. My waffle maker is large, about 16cm diamter each waffle, you may need to form smaller waffles using less dough for each one, in this case you'll get more waffles.
Slightly grease waffle maker with peanut oil or other type of vegetable oil, then place the potato discs into the waffle maker.
Cook at high heat for about 5 minutes or until become golden (the cooking time depends on your waffle maker and on your waffle size).
Serve immediately with your favourite sauce, dressing, eggs for breakfast... or as side dish or use them as bread and stuff them like a sandwich!
