- For a richer flavor, use whole milk instead of low fat.
- For a healthier option, use vegetable oil instead of butter in the mashed potatoes.
- Substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour: Almond flour is a gluten-free alternative to all-purpose flour, and is a great way to add a nutty flavor to the waffles. It is also a great source of healthy fats and proteins.
- Substitute coconut oil for vegetable oil: Coconut oil is a healthier alternative to vegetable oil, as it is rich in healthy fats and antioxidants. It also adds a subtle sweetness and coconut flavor to the waffles.
Cheese and Bacon Mashed Potato Waffles Add 1/2 cup of grated cheese and 1/4 cup of cooked bacon pieces to the dry ingredients. Bake in a preheated waffle iron according to manufacturer’s directions until golden brown. Serve with syrup.

FAQ
Q: How do I make sure my waffles are cooked through?
A: Make sure to follow the manufacturer's directions for cooking the waffles. Depending on the type of waffle iron you have, you may need to adjust the cooking time. Check the waffles periodically to make sure they are cooked through and golden brown.
Q: How do I make sure my waffles are crispy?
A: Preheat your waffle iron and use a non-stick cooking spray to lightly coat the surface. If possible, use a waffle recipe with a higher fat content, such as one that calls for melted butter or oil.
