Potato Waffles

Breakfast (German)

This is a variation on the common German recipe for potato pancakes. And can be served just as they are. It makes about ten crispy waffles.

Ingredients/Shopping List
• 3 lbs. russet potatoes, peeled
• 4 eggs
• ½ cup chopped onion
• ½ cup oil
• 2 tbsp. lemon juice
• 3/4 cup all purpose matzo cake meal
• 4 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. salt
• ¼ tsp. sugar
• ¼ tsp. white pepper
• ¼ tsp. nutmeg
• Sour Cream
• Applesauce

Directions

With a mouli (or in a food processor), shred potatoes very fine. Squeeze dry. Paper towels work well for this.

Mix eggs and onion well. Add oil, lemon juice, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, pepper and nutmeg, mix thoroughly. This can be done in a blender or food processor.

Add potatoes blend well. Heat waffle iron, oiling grids if necessary. Fill 2/3 full. Spread batter evenly.

Bake until golden brown (about 3 minutes). Remove and place on rack in 250°F oven to warm while making more waffles.

Can be served with sour cream and applesauce. For a variation, serve these with an "over easy" egg on top and a dash of hot sauce.
