1Prep the potatoes: Peel and grate the russet potatoes. Using a paper towel or cheesecloth, squeeze out as much moisture as possible to ensure crispy waffles.
2Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, egg, melted butter, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
3Preheat the mini waffle maker: Lightly grease the waffle maker with butter to prevent sticking.
4Cook the waffles: Spread about ¼ cup of the potato mixture evenly onto the preheated mini waffle maker and close the lid. Cook for 5-7 minutes per waffle or until golden brown and crispy.
5Repeat with remaining mixture.
6Serve and enjoy: Carefully remove the waffles, let them cool slightly, and serve with Sour Cream or ketchup for dipping.
