Categories     main-dish

Time 55m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

8 ounces thick-sliced bacon
2 large eggs
1 3/4 cups milk
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter, melted and cooled, plus more butter for serving
2 cups all-purpose flour (see Cook's Note)
2 tablespoons sugar
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon kosher salt
20 ounces refrigerated shredded hash browns
Vegetable oil, for brushing the waffle iron
Maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F and place a rimmed baking sheet in the oven to keep the cooked waffles warm.
  • Preheat a square waffle iron. Cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Drain on paper towels, crumble and reserve.
  • Whisk together the eggs, milk and melted butter in a large bowl. In a second bowl, sift together the flour, sugar, baking powder, smoked paprika, baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, taking care not to overmix (it's okay if there are some lumps). Stir in the crumbled bacon.
  • Put the hash browns in a large bowl and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Brush the preheated waffle iron with vegetable oil. Sprinkle a quarter of the hash brown mixture evenly across the surface of the waffle iron, making sure it reaches the edges. Close the waffle iron and cook until potatoes are crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Spread one quarter of the batter over the potatoes, close and cook until the waffle is golden and crisp, 3 to 4 minutes more. Remove the waffle to the preheated sheet pan in the oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining potatoes and batter. Serve the waffles with butter and maple syrup.

  • Season the Waffle Batter: Feel free to add your favorite seasonings to the waffle batter, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, or onion powder, to taste.
  • Cook the Waffles According to Your Waffle Iron: Follow the instructions provided with your waffle iron for the best results.
  • Serve the Waffles Immediately: These waffles are best served hot and crispy, so enjoy them right away.
