You know what they say, "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day!" And we're here to remind you that a cup of coffee and a banana is not, in fact, breakfast. Make sure you give your body the sustenance it needs each day to get you up and energized and out the door with these Minute Mashersâ„¢ Mashed Potato Waffles.
We love this super easy recipe because it's fast and has all of the healthy and hearty ingredients you need for delicious waffles. But, forget the syrup with this waffle recipe because we're going savory this time with these Mashed Potato Waffles with ham, cheddar cheese, and chives. YUM!
If you've been with us for a while, you know that we're big fans of potatoes from Green Giant™ Fresh and these new Minute Mashers™ make mashed potatoes in literally seven minutes flat. No need to boil water, gather ingredients, or peel potatoes – just put the whole package in the microwave and cook for seven minutes. That's it! Then, using oven mitts, smash and mash to your desired potato texture. It's really that simple guys. No need to cut open the bag, remove any portion of the package, or add anything to the microwave – you just pop the bag in the microwave to cook, mash, and serve!
Now, we all love a little sweetness every now and then, but when you start the day with a savory breakfast studies show that your blood sugar is more stable throughout the day. That's why we're avoiding syrupy sweet waffles and other confections first thing in the morning and going for potatoes instead. These mashed potato waffles have the protein, fiber, and fat that you need to stay satisfied and to fuel your body for busy days ahead. And Minute Mashersâ„¢ make it easy to create this recipe in just minutes!
Here's a tips and ways to customize these waffles:
- Protein: if you're not a fan of ham, then feel free to swap with another breakfast protein or leftovers that you have on-hand. Try this recipe with bacon or sausage to mix it up! We think this would also be great with pepperoni and mozzarella. Speaking of cheese...
- Cheese: Try it with any other shredded cheese that you have on-hand or that you like!
- Cook-Time: Just like ovens, all waffle irons cook at different temperatures. So you may need to test this recipe on your own waffle iron before perfecting it. We suggest starting at the lowest setting which will allow the waffle to cook internally while keeping a light golden brown crust.
- Mashed Potatoes: You can also use leftover mashed potatoes with this recipe if you don't have Minute Mashers™ – but they do make this recipe so simple!

I love waffles so will add this as my new waffle for the week.
very creative and tasteful
Hmmm. Maybe really good.
LETS ADD SOME MINCED ONION
I would never have thought of using a waffle maker for potatoes, but this would certainly be something I’d like to try!
Okay. I’ll try them.
I can imagine cooking potatoes in the waffle iron, but I wouldn’t want to put syrup on those waffles. I’d rather just eat them with salt, pepper and butter.
Looks soooo good!
Well now I have to expand my morning routine!

I like trying new foods and this looks delicious and gives a new idea for just regular waffles.
