Loaded Spiralized Potato Waffle

That's a mouthful...literally.  This waffle is packed with all of the goodies that you would expect from a loaded baked potato...cheese, bacon, chives (I used green onion because I could not find any fresh chives at the market today), and sour cream.  What this waffle will offer that you won't get fro a baked potato is a crispy outside.  It can be served as a side dish or as a meal itself.  It's just simply delicious.  Enjoy.

Ingredients:

6 large spiralized red potato
2 egg
1 tablespoon bacon grease
5 slices bacon, thick cut
1/2 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4-1/2 cup green onion, diced
Adobo seasoning to taste
Sour cream
 

Directions:

Preheat your waffle iron. Heat a medium pan using medium heat.  Add bacon and cook to desired crispiness.  Remove bacon and grease leaving about 1 tablespoon of grease.  Cut bacon into small pieces and set aside. Add spiralized  potato and Adobo seasoning. Cook for 5-7 minutes, tossing frequently until potato is cooked. Set aside in a large bowl to cool for 5 minutes. In a separate bowl, lightly beat egg and add it to the bowl with the potato.   Add bacon, green onions, and cheddar cheese. Toss to mix thoroughly.  Spray waffle iron with non-stick spray. Add potatoes to the waffle iron and cook until desired crispiness is achieved* (3-5 minutes).  Top with a dollop of sour cream.  Makes 4 waffles.
