Savory Potato Waffles With Smoked Salmon
It never occurred to me before making these Savory Potato Waffles With Smoked Salmon, to make potato pancakes in the waffle maker. The Savory Potato Waffles were SO incredibly easy to make, using just a few ingredients and just a few steps. Frozen hash-browns make the prep easy and the addition of dill, black pepper and maple butter add a delicious complexity of flavors. I like to use the frozen shredded hash-browns from Aldi. The full recipe for these potato waffles with smoked salmon is below that is also printable. I will just outline the steps for you in the paragraphs below.


Save Time, Buy Frozen
When you make these, you will think to yourself, “Why haven’t I used frozen hash-browns to make potato pancakes before?” This is such a time saving tip to making these waffles with smoked salmon. I let my frozen hash-browns thaw before using them. This is not a necessary step, but it will add cooking time in the waffle maker, if you do not thaw them. You will need about 4 cups of the frozen hash-browns to make this recipes.

Filling Your Waffle Maker
Every waffle maker will be different and cook times will be different. I used about 4 tablespoons of the mixture to fill my waffle maker. Keep in mind that these waffles will not puff up as much as typical waffles, so be sure to add enough filling to make sure you get a thicker waffle. My particular waffle took about 12 to 15 minutes to cook completely.
