This Is A Waffle?

What's the first thing that comes to your mind when you think of a waffle...breakfast, syrup, sweet?  Waffles can be a very versatile food.  They can be sweet, savory, spicy, crunchy, cake-like.  They can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, dinner, our even dessert.  The possibilities are endless.  

Though many might not want to consider some alternatives, some unconventional waffles might become some of your favorite.  When I purchased my waffle maker, I stuck to the traditional waffle, but once my creativity kicked in, new doors opened up.  "Unconventional" waffles became a staple in my kitchen and my husband and kids couldn't wait to see what was going to come out of my waffle maker.

Introducing the potato waffle.  Here is a basic recipe that can be altered to meet your taste and needs. Enjoy!

1 large spiralized potato
1 egg
1 tablespoon olive oil
