A few weeks ago my sister and her family were visiting. We started talking about food and by brother in law Jake brought up making hashbrowns in the waffle iron.
Jake: “Have you ever made hashbrowns in the waffle iron?”
Me: “No, why would you do that?”
Jake: “They are so easy and it makes super crispy hashbrowns”
Well that got my attention. My husband LOVE crispy hashbrowns, but he only gets them when we go out for breakfast. So I thought I would give it a try.
It turned out awesome. We loved them.
You can make this recipe without the cheese. But it is delicious.
