Print Recipe

Equipment

  • 1 Mini Waffle Maker Any waffle maker will work but the 4" mini size can be reheated in a toaster.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 russet potatoes
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspooon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • dash pepper

Topping:

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mayo
  • 1 teaspoon parsley
  • 1 teaspoon dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
 

  • Peel and grate the russet potatoes with either a box grater, cheese grater, or food processor. Place the grated potatoes in a clean kitchen towel or mesh bag and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
  • In a large bowl, mix the grated potatoes, eggs, cheddar cheese, almond flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, and black pepper until well combined.
  • Preheat Waffle Iron: Preheat and grease your waffle iron according to the waffle maker’s instructions.
    Scoop a 1/4 cup of potato mixture onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading it out evenly. Close the waffle iron and cook for 6-7 minutes or until the waffles are crispy and golden brown.
  • In a small blender or chopper cup, add the cottage cheese, mayo, dill, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper and mix until smooth.
  • Once the waffles are done, carefully remove them from the waffle iron and let them cool slightly on a wire rack. Serve the crispy potato waffles warm with the high-protein cottage cheese ranch dip on the side.

Notes

Peeling Potatoes: Removing the potato skins is optional but makes for smoother waffles. 
Squeezing Out Moisture: Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the grated potatoes for the crispiest waffles.
Waffle Maker: You can use any size waffle maker you like including Belgian waffles. I prefer a 4" mini waffle maker because they are the perfect size to pop in the toaster and reheat. I use this 4-waffle maker to make 4 at a time.
Crispiness: For extra crispy waffles, let them cook a bit longer in the waffle iron, but keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
