# Ingredients:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 4 cups grated hash browns (frozen or chilled)
02 - 1/4 cup grated cheese
03 - 1 teaspoon flavored salt

# Instructions:

01 - Start by preheating your waffle iron to medium-high heat to ensure a crispy finish on the hash brown waffles.
02 - In a large bowl, combine the thawed shredded hash browns, shredded cheese, and seasoned salt. Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of all ingredients.
03 - Spray or brush the waffle iron with pan release to prevent sticking. This step is crucial for easy removal once cooked.
04 - Place about 1 cup of the hash brown mixture onto the waffle iron. Close the waffle maker completely and cook until browned and crisp to your preference. Expect significant steam during cooking.
05 - Serve immediately for best texture. If not eating right away, cool the waffles on a wire rack to prevent sogginess.

# Notes:

01 - These savory waffles make an excellent breakfast alternative to traditional sweet waffles and can be topped with eggs, avocado, or sour cream.
