I’m still playing around with the Dash MINI Waffle Grill even though it’s EXTREMELY hard to clean. It’s so small it’s next to impossible to get in all the tiny cracks to clean even with a Q-Tip.  My husband insist that it’s a disposable appliance. He hates it…maybe he is right?……. The Dash Mini Grill is only the size of a fast food burger and makes four inch side waffles….. There are no buttons or switches on the grill and you have to guess when your waffle is ready. It was cheap and doesn’t take up any room….I almost never crave a waffle so I thought it fit my style. The first thing  I made with the Dash Grill were waffles that came out great using the recipe that was included.  Today I thought I’d try Potato Waffles laced with Horseradish. I didn’t get the waffles crisp like I wanted but I think I can get the leftover ones crisp as I re-heat them. Maybe if you have a better grill you can get them crisper in your grill?…… This recipe made me 6 mini waffles. One waffle is one serving. Of course your grill will differ from mine so timing and portions might differ.

Ingredients for 6 servings

1 1/2 lbs brown skin potatoes

5 oz sweet onion – grated

2 Tablespoons prepared hot horseradish

1 L. egg – slightly beaten

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon course sea salt

non stick spray – canola or vegetable

Optional – pinch of piment d’ espelette – to finish each waffle – So delicious, almost everything at Joel Robuchon’s L’Atelier’s Menu offerings are finished with it. You should buy it to prepare delicious food.

Optional Tablespoon of soured cream of your choice for finishing each waffle (creme fraiche, sour cream or French Style yogurt)

Optional – snipped green onion of choice for finishing cream (scallions, chives, but best are i’itois onions – delicious but hard to find, Crooked Skys Farms sells them.)

Directions.

Your grated onion goes in a large bowl.

Next you peel one potato then grate it into the onions.

Mix the onions with the potatoes because this will stop the potatoes from browning.

Repeat one potato at a time till done.

There will be a lot of liquid in the bowl…….You need to gather up the contents of the bowl and place in a clean dish clothe and squeeze all the liquid you can out.

Throw out the liquid and dry your bowl. Put the potato mixture back in the bowl.

To the bowl add horseradish, pepper, salt and egg. Mix.

AT THIS POINT LIQUID WILL CONTINUE to run out of the mixture…don’t fear!

Score the potato mixture in 6…..(or you can do more if you want to make them even smaller.

Spray the grill with non stick spray and plug it in……When it’s hot open the grill.

Here’s the hardest part.

Grab about one sixth or less of the mixture and make a pattie shape like you are making a burger……then squeeze with your hands to get the liquid out. You might want to squeeze a few times. Then put the pattie in the waffle grill and close the lid down tight.

In my Dash Mini Grill the potato waffle was cooked and lightly browned in 5 minutes.

I note the waffles I made weren’t as crisp as I wanted but they do taste great!

You should serve the Horseradish Laced Potato Waffles with some sort of soured cream (sour cream, creme fraiche or French Style yogurt) and some sort of snipped green onion. (i’itois will knock your socks off!)

The next day I re-heated one in the oven. I put it a rack at 350 degrees F. In 15 minutes it was crispy.

They taste great…!
