Waffle Iron Hash Browns

1. Prepare the Potatoes and Onions

Peel and grate russet potatoes, then remove as much moisture as possible by spreading the potatoes on a clean kitchen towel, rolling them up, and squeezing firmly. Repeat the process with a medium yellow onion.

2. Combine Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained potatoes and onion with melted butter, a lightly beaten extra-large egg, all-purpose flour, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Cook in Waffle Iron

Brush the preheated waffle iron with extra melted butter. Place a portion of the potato mixture onto the iron, spread it out evenly, and close the lid. Cook for about 5 to 10 minutes until browned and crispy.

4. Keep Warm and Serve

Transfer the cooked hash browns to a parchment-lined sheet pan and keep them warm in a preheated oven at 250 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 30 minutes. Serve immediately after all batches are complete.
