Can I prepare the mashed potato mixture ahead of time?

Yes, you can prepare the mashed potato mixture, including all the seasonings and flour, and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. When ready to cook, let it come to room temperature slightly before waffling.

What are some good toppings for these savory potato waffles?

The recipe suggests serving them with fresh salsa, extra vegan cream cheese, and additional caramelized onions. Other great options could include a dollop of vegan sour cream, chives, or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast.

My waffle mixture seems too sticky or too dry; what should I do?

The recipe notes that you may need slightly more or less all-purpose flour. If it's too sticky, add a little more flour, a tablespoon at a time, until it's significantly firmer than initial mashed potatoes but not overly dry. If too dry, a tiny splash of soy milk can help.

Is white truffle oil essential, or can I substitute it?

White truffle oil adds a distinctive, luxurious flavor to these waffles. While not essential, it contributes significantly to their unique taste. If you prefer to omit it, you could add a little extra smoked paprika or a pinch of garlic powder for savory depth.

How to Prepare Simple Mashed Potato Waffles [Vegan]

Peel and dice potatoes, then place in a deep pot with water and bring to a boil. Boil for 20 minutes or until potatoes are very tender. Drain and immediately place potato cubes into a large bowl.
Mash till almost smooth with a potato masher, and then add the vegan butter and soy milk. Mix it in with a wooden spoon. At this stage, taste and season to your preference.
Add thyme, smoked paprika, white truffle oil, and caramelized onions into the mixture and stir well with a spoon to incorporate. Add vegan cream cheese and mix well.
Finally, add in flour and give it a thorough mixing - you may need more flour or slightly less — what you're looking for is something significantly firmer than the initial mashed potatoes, but don't overdo it with the flour.
Heat waffle iron and spray well with non-stick cooking spray. Place 1 heaped tablespoon of potato mixture into each waffle cavity and cook according to your waffle maker's instructions.
Once cooked, use a small palette knife to help nudge your "waffle" off the waffle maker and onto your plate.
Enjoy!
