The Best Whole Potatoes To Press In Your Waffle Iron

Potato waffles are a delicious breakfast meal that only requires you to microwave a whole potato and smush it in a waffle iron. However, any old type of potato won't do.
Baby or new potatoes produce better results than more mature spuds. They're less starchy with a higher water content for a fluffy interior, with skins that crisp up beautifully.

Preheat your waffle iron according to the manufacturer's instructions, and add the potatoes to the plate. You can also sprinkle on chopped herbs, like parsley or cilantro.
