Potato - Herb Waffles

Submitted by YummySmellsca

"Chives, thyme, green onions and parsley add an herbaceous flair to crispy mashed potato waffles. The kids at school said they had a "French fry" taste, and they are a cheap and easy option for breakfast or dinner. Leftovers freeze beautifully too - pop them in the toaster for a quick dinner starch (or savoury breakfast - try it topped with maple syrup and bacon, or molasses baked beans!)."
