A quick and easy breakfast recipe that transforms frozen hash browns into crispy waffles, served with crispy bacon and tangy sour cream for a comforting and flavorful meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups (about 14 oz) frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and patted dry
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/4 cup (about 1 oz) all-purpose flour (can substitute almond flour for gluten-free)
  • 1 cup (about 4 oz) grated sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 6–8 bacon strips, cooked until crispy
  • Sour cream, for serving

Instructions

  1. Cook the bacon: Place 6-8 bacon slices in a cold skillet and cook over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes, flipping occasionally. Transfer to paper towels to drain excess fat. Set aside.
  2. Mix the waffle batter: In a large bowl, combine thawed and dried hash browns, eggs, flour, grated cheddar cheese, and sliced green onions. Season with salt and black pepper. Stir well until evenly mixed.
  3. Preheat waffle iron and lightly grease with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Spoon about 1 cup (around 5 oz) of the hash brown mixture onto the preheated waffle iron, spreading evenly. Close the lid gently and cook for 8-10 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. Repeat with remaining batter, keeping cooked waffles warm in a low oven (about 200°F) if needed.
  6. Serve each waffle topped with a couple of bacon strips and a generous dollop of sour cream. Optionally garnish with extra green onions or chives.

Notes

Thaw and squeeze out excess moisture from hash browns for best crispiness. Do not open waffle iron too early to avoid breaking waffles. Bacon fat can be used to grease waffle iron for extra flavor. Batter can be prepared ahead and refrigerated.
