4.7 from 18 reviews

This Healthy Hashbrown Chaffle recipe combines crispy grated hashbrowns with melted cheese, cooked in a waffle iron to create a delicious, low-carb, and gluten-free breakfast treat. Perfectly crunchy on the outside and tender inside, these chaffles can be enjoyed on their own or with your favorite toppings.

Ingredients

Scale

Hashbrown Mixture

  • 4 cups grated hash browns (frozen or chilled, thawed)
  • 1/4 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your choice)
  • 1 teaspoon flavored salt (such as garlic salt or seasoned salt)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Waffle Iron: Start by preheating your waffle iron to medium-high heat to ensure the hashbrown chaffles come out crispy and golden brown.
  2. Prepare the Hash Brown Mixture: In a large bowl, thoroughly combine the grated and thawed hash browns, grated cheese, and flavored salt, making sure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare the Waffle Iron: Lightly spray or brush the waffle iron with a non-stick pan release to prevent sticking and make waffle removal easy.
  4. Cook the Hash Brown Waffles: Spoon about 1 cup of the hash brown mixture onto the waffle iron and spread it evenly. Close the lid carefully and cook until the chaffle is crispy and browned, usually until the waffle cycle completes. Be cautious of the steam generated during cooking.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Remove waffles carefully and serve immediately for the best texture. If not serving right away, cool on a wire rack to prevent sogginess and maintain crispiness.

Notes

  • Make sure hash browns are fully thawed for even cooking.
  • You can substitute the cheese with your preferred type, like mozzarella or pepper jack.
  • Adjust flavored salt to taste or use plain salt and add your favorite herbs.
  • Use a non-stick waffle iron or ample spray to avoid sticking.
  • These chaffles pair well with eggs, sour cream, or avocado for a fuller meal.
