These crispy hash brown waffles are an easy breakfast favorite made in your waffle iron. They’re a healthy and nutritious way to start the day and can be made with potatoes, cauliflower, or a combination of both.

This savory twist on a waffle is easy and fast. These potato or cauliflower waffles are a great simple go-to for a busy morning or breakfast for dinner, and I love that I can sneak in some frozen veggies.

I prefer to make these for my family with half store-bought hash browns and half cauliflower in the batter because my boys don’t notice the cauliflower that way. If it’s just going to be me and my hubby enjoying them, we love these with just cauliflower (no hash browns) for a delicious, nutrient-dense way to start the day.–Autumn Michaelis

Crispy Hash Brown Waffle FAQs

Can I make these without a waffle maker?

You absolutely can put your batter into a hot, oiled skillet and prepare just as you would pancakes or fritters. Watch your cooking time to ensure you get a browned and crispy outer layer. They will likely take 3 to 4 minutes per side.

What is arrowroot?

It’s a root vegetable, most often sold in powdered form. You’ll see it used as a thickening agent in many gluten-free recipes as it is naturally gluten-free. You may also see it sold as arrowroot flour. It’s said that arrowroot has many health benefits such as weight loss and stimulating your immune system.

What should I serve with hashbrowns waffles?

You could go the breakfast route and serve eggs and bacon or sausage and it would be delicious, or you could lay out a buffet of assorted toppings and let everyone dress their waffles as desired. We’re thinking taco waffles with seasoned meat, salsa, cheese, lettuce, and sour cream – or loaded waffles with bacon, cheddar, sour cream, and chives. Buffalo chicken waffles with blue cheese and drizzled ranch, bbq pork waffles with cole slaw… let your imagination run wild (and share your creations with us!)

Can I freeze these waffles?

Yes. Freeze your waffles in a single layer and store in a resealable plastic bag or airtight container for up to 3 months. Reheat in a waffle iron, microwave, or air fryer.

Prep 15 minutes

Cook 20 minutes

Total 35 minutes

  • Preheat a nonstick waffle iron.

  • In a medium bowl, combine the hash browns, cauliflower, or a mixture of both. Add the eggs, oil, flour, garlic salt, and onion powder. Stir until the mixture is well combined.

  • Fill the preheated waffle iron with the batter; the exact amount will vary based on the size of your waffle iron. (Keep in mind that this batter doesn’t rise or spread as much as regular waffle batter does, so you will probably need more batter than normal. If your batter is cauliflower only, really pack the cups so your waffles hold together.)

    For a crispier waffle, spread a thinner layer of the mixture across your waffle iron. For a thicker, fluffier waffle, use a thick layer of filling.

  • Close the waffle iron and cook until the waffle is crispy and golden brown or your waffle maker indicates they are done. Timing will vary by iron.

    If your waffles are sticking, spray your waffle iron with cooking spray before making the next batch.

  • Top with salsa, sour cream, ketchup, or your sauce of choice, and enjoy hot.

  • Leftover waffles can be frozen in a single layer then stored in a sealed container in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat the frozen waffles in a waffle iron, microwave, oven, or air fryer.
