Waffle Iron Hash Browns No Oil
Hash browns are one of my favorite breakfasts! One thing I really love is making them in a waffle iron because it cooks both sides at one time. No flipping required!

Equipment
Ingredients
- frozen hash browns amount desired
- 1/4 cup diced onions
- 1 spinkle garlic powder
- 1 sprinkle onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon nutritional yeast flakes optional
- salt and pepper to taste
- any other vegetables desired mushrooms, spinach, etc
Instructions
- Make sure to purchase frozen hash browns that have no additives. They need to be simply potatoes. Walmart, Aldi's, and many grocery stores carry these. Just be sure to read the labels.
- Heat your waffle iron and make sure it's been seasoned recently to prevent sticking. The hash browns will be added to the hot waffle iron still frozen. There is no need to defrost them.
- Add spices and seasonings desired. Some of my favorites are sea salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, and smoked paprika.
- Diced onions make a terrific addition. I sometimes like to and other veggies like mushrooms, bell peppers, and even spinach.
- After sprinkling the seasonings and adding the diced onions, lower the lid and allow to cook for approximately 6-8 minutes. Waffle iron temperatures differ, so check regularly until you find the right cooking time for your appliance.
- Once done, remove from the heat, unplug the waffle iron, and serve warm with toast and fresh fruit. Healthy Vegan Grits are also a great option for serving with these. Tofu scramble with veggies is a perfect compliment for this recipe.

Tips & Suggestions:
Using fresh potatoes- I've read some comments from people who have made this recipe with fresh shredded potatoes. My understanding is that the potatoes need to be shredded, and soaked. Then the water squeezed out well. Here is the process that includes soaking and squeezing towards the bottom of the page.
Prevent sticking- A couple of important things to remember to keep it from sticking. First, always season your waffle iron or press periodically to maintain the surface area. Second, allow plenty of cooking time for the potatoes to get crispy.
Hash browns- Make sure to purchase frozen hash browns that have no additives. They need to be simply potatoes. Walmart, Aldi, and many grocery stores carry these, and I have found that no-name brands are excellent because they often don't have any additives. Just be sure to read the labels.
