Waffled Mashed Potatoes With Bacon, Scallion, And Cheddar Recipe

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup buttermilk
• 2 large eggs
• 2 1/2 cups leftover or freshly made
• 1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions, white and light green parts only
• 1 cup cooked bacon, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
• 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
• 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• Nonstick cooking spray

1. Preheat waffle iron. (If it has temperature adjustment, set it to medium.) If you want to keep finished waffled mashed potatoes warm, preheat oven to 225u0b0F.
2. In large bowl, whisk together oil, buttermilk, and eggs. Add mashed potatoes, green onions, bacon, and cheese. Mix well.
3. In small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and pepper. Fold into potato mixture until evenly incorporated.
4. Spray both sides of waffle iron with nonstick spray and place about 1/2 cup of potato mixture onto each section of waffle iron. Cook until golden brown and crispy, about 3 minutes.
5. Remove from waffle iron, place in preheated oven to keep warm, and repeat previous step with remaining batter.
6. For a leftover Thanksgiving meal, serve topped with gravy, cranberry sauce, and/or turkey. For breakfast or brunch, serve topped with a fried egg.
