Equipment

  • waffle iron

Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 1 teaspoon butter
  • sea salt to taste
  • ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Wash the potatoes and place them in a small pot. Cover with water.
  • Add a pinch of sea salt.
  • Bring to the boil.
  • When the potatoes are tender (about 10-13 minutes), cover with cold water and allow to cool slightly.
  • Turn on the waffle iron.
  • Stick a knob of butter onto a wooden skewer and rub it on the top and bottom surfaces of the waffle maker. Be careful not to burn your fingers.
  • Place a potato on each side of the waffle iron and press down a few times while the potato cooks.
  • Leave the potatoes for about 8-10 minutes until crispy and golden brown (the timing will depend on your iron. Keep an eye on them so they don't burn).
  • Remove the waffle potatoes with tongs.
  • Sprinkle with sea salt and black pepper.
  • Enjoy.
