Making Hash Brown Waffles is a straightforward process that you can follow easily. Here is a step-by-step guide:

1. Preheat Your Waffle Iron: Set your waffle iron to medium-high heat to prepare for cooking.

2. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out excess moisture.

3. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, shredded cheese, egg, flour, salt, black pepper, and onion powder. Stir until everything is evenly mixed.

4. Grease the Waffle Iron: Lightly brush your preheated waffle iron with oil to prevent sticking.

5. Cook the Waffles: Place about 1 cup of the potato mixture into the preheated waffle iron, spreading it evenly. Close the lid and cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the waffles are golden brown and crispy.

6. Check for Doneness: Carefully open the waffle iron and check if the waffles are done. If they need more time, close the lid and continue cooking.

7. Keep Warm: As each waffle finishes cooking, place it on a wire rack in a warm oven (200°F or 93°C) to keep them warm while you cook the remaining batter.

8. Repeat: Repeat steps 5-7 until all of the mixture is used up.

9. Ready to Serve: Once you’ve finished cooking, your Hash Brown Waffles are now ready to enjoy!
