Waffle Browns



Apparently, cooking with a waffle iron is a “thing” now. Or so I am informed by my daughter the librarian. She & I worked this out in conversation last night.

Ingredients:

1 cup frozen hashbrown potatoes (feel free to use fresh)
½ cup frozen hashbrown sweet potatoes (or fresh)
⅓ cup sweet onion, sliced thin, cut into hashbrown size
3 strips bacon, cooked (not crispy), sliced to hashbrown size
1 TBSP bacon drippings
1 tsp dried oregano
1 TBSP olive oil
2 TBSP honey
½ tsp dried tarragon
Salt and pepper to taste
Butter

Fry the bacon: mostly done, but not crispy. Defrost frozen things. Mix potatoes, sweet potatoes, onion together gently. Add sliced bacon, bacon drippings, spices, oil & honey. Mix together gently.

Shape into a rough patty, and place 1 pat of butter on top.

Pre-heat waffle iron. Oil bottom plate. Place the patty (with butter on top) onto waffle iron; close & press down.

When cooked through, remove from waffle iron. Serve immediately. Top with shredded cheese, a fried egg and/or drizzle with honey if you like. 

Caution: Be sure to re-oil the waffle iron before every batch!
