1. If you don't have a waffle iron and if you don't want to buy a waffle iron, still you can make potato waffle using your toaster. If you don't have a toaster, use a heavy bottom pan and fry both sides. Unfortunately then you can't call it waffles,but no harm to the taste.

2. Potato waffles are common in the United Kingdom and Ireland. Regular waffles said to be originally from Belgium.

3. Home made waffles are much better than frozen waffles.

You really can make lot of variations with this waffle recipe and it’s a tasty and healthy dish. Once I served tempered prawns and avocado on top of the potato waffle and it was beyond my words to explain how nice it looks and how tasty it was.

If you have small children you can add broccoli, spinach or chopped greens into the potato mixture and they will eat the greens in the waffle with no complains.
