Things you can waffle

[Bruno]

Episode One:







I recently invested in several cans of dehydrated vegetables and powdered eggs, so that is what I am using here.



First, combine in a bowl:

1/2 cup potato flakes
1 TBSP onion flakes
2 TBSP powdered milk
3 TBSP powdered eggs
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup shredded cheese





Then, add enough water to give it the consistency of mashed potatoes, which for me was about 5/8 cup. Mix thoroughly.



This is the really important step. GREASE THE WAFFLE IRON. If you don't, you will be scraping your waffle out of the waffle iron. Potato waffles are soft and made of mashed potatoes with a thin crust that kind of holds it together.

Dump the mixture into the waffle iron and spread it around evenly.



Cook the waffle. This part is up to you as far as time and temperature settings go. I let it cook until it had more or less stopped billowing steam.



Ta-Daaa!



To get it out of the waffle iron, I had to pick the whole thing up, and dump it into the plate.

Not a structurally sound waffle compared to your typical wheat flour based waffle.

I then topped it with some Salisbury steak and gravy.




All in all, it was pretty good. I think next time I shall cook it a little bit longer and add more onion and salt. The crispy skin is the best part of the waffle, but the gravy made it kind of soggy on top. The crust on the bottom was unaffected.

And yes, that is more or less my entire kitchen you see there, and I am cooking on top of a mini-fridge. It is the only food preparation surface I have to work with, but it works.

Ya work with what you gots, you are right.  Wow.  That's an awesome sort of deal there, and we will be trying that out!  I mean, latkes and potato cakes ABOUND in many cultures, so why not ze vaffle?

Orsome, and thanks for sharing!

I always feel like getting crazy. 

I'm way ahead of you on the cornbread. I did regular basic cornbread batter topped with white beans a few days ago. I think I posted about it here. But chilli & cheese sounds gooder than a motherfuck.

I think my next experiment will be a salmon patty waffle, but I can't think of a good topping for salmon. Maybe cream of mushroom and green beans?

Richter: OSHI POUTINE WAFFLE!! I'll have to try that. Do you have a recipe for the gravy/sauce that goes on it?

Jenne: You're quite welcome, and thanks. Let me know how it turns out!

Because my motherfucking T key wasn't broken then, motherfucker.

And it's "criticizing" and "grammar".

Sank you.

That answers my question. Nigel, I think I should hire you to be my spell/grammer checker  . Would you happen to know a free site for writing lessons or some such. I have really gotten out of ractice with writing. And the waffles look really good by the by. I could almost smell 'em when I saw the pics. Mmmmm .

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Best way to improve your spelling and grammar is to read a lot, and to write a lot, and pay attention.

I now officially NEED to own a waffle iron.
