Servings: 1
Calories: 149kcal
Ingredients
- 1 large baking potato or any potato for that matter
- 1/4 cup onion sliced or diced
- 1 sprinkle sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon nutritional yeast
- 1 sprinkle garlic powder
- 1 sprinkle dry steak seasoning
Instructions
- It's so simple to do this, especially if you have leftover baked potatoes in the refrigerator already.
- If there are no leftover cooked potatoes available, you'll want to start by washing and scrubbing some fresh raw potatoes.
- I have a handy kitchen gadget called a Potato Express Bag that allows me to cook a potato in the microwave in about 4-5 minutes, and they come out flakey and delicious.
- Once cooked and cooled enough to handle, slice the potato open and place it on a hot waffle iron or panini press. I have used both, and either works great.
- I like to add diced onions and spices like sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, nutritional yeast, and even smoked paprika.
- Lower the lid on the waffle iron and cook for approximately 8 minutes until golden brown. Appliance temperatures vary, so keep an eye on yours the first time cooking.
- Once they are good and crisp, the potato flesh will release from the top and bottom plates. If you open yours and they are stuck to the top, simply allow a few more minutes of cooking time.

Notes
Tips & Suggestions:
I have included step-by-step photos and directions above to ensure your first attempt will be successful.
Potatoes- Russet potatoes are the best choice for baked potatoes and waffle potatoes due to their high starch content and thick skin. This combination allows them to bake up with a fluffy, tender interior and a crispy, golden-brown exterior, creating the perfect texture for a classic baked potato.
Prevent Sticking- Always season your waffle iron or press periodically to maintain the surface area. Second, allow plenty of cooking time for potatoes to get crispy.
