Crunchy, yet silky smooth hashbrowns made right in the waffle iron. So quick, so easy, and just so darn good!
I recently invested in a waffle iron. And I’ve been bad. Really, really, really bad.
I waffle-ized hashbrowns. Except I added cheese and ham, making these to be pretty much the best kind of waffles of all time.
They crisp up just perfectly in the iron, while completely melting in your mouth with every single bite.
And with the addition of the ham, this can easily be served for dinner with a fried egg on top.
You are welcome.
Ham and Cheese Hashbrown Waffles
Crunchy, yet silky smooth hashbrowns made right in the waffle iron. So quick, so easy, and just so darn good!
Ingredients
- 1 20-ounce package refrigerated hash brown potatoes

Instructions

Are these able to be stored and served later? My kids would love these!
Yes, absolutely! You can freeze in individual portions and reheat as needed. Hope that helps!
I have a Belgian waffle iron, much deeper than the one shown in your picture. What adjustments do I need to make?
You can add more of the potato mixture into the iron as needed. Cooking time may also have to be adjusted.
A nice and different recipe. Thank you. Have a great week.
These are brilliant! Waffles rule!
Those look amazing… definitely go in my collection of school appropriate recipes. I’ve been building a collection of delicious but quick to do recipes and I think that the boys will love this one.
These look so good! Just a question from someone who lives in an area that doesn’t sell packaged refrigerated hash brown potatoes – can I just use grated / shredded potatoes? Will this affect the cooking time? I’ve never seen packaged refrigerated hash brown potatoes and can only assume that they may have had some pre-cooking prior to being packaged. Thanks!
Yes, you can certainly use grated potatoes instead. Cooking time should remain the same but as always, please use your best judgment.
You need to squeeze some of the water out of the shredded potatoes.
