Cooking potato waffles?

pmy.murphy

Should they be defrosted for a while or can you put them straight in the oven from the freezer, theyve been defrosting for about 20 minutes now. Would that be ok?

The instructions are on the packet - they're cooked from frozen.

I always cook them from frozen.

When I'm feeling lazy, I put the toaster up to its highest setting and put them in. When it pops up, I turn them upside-down and put them down again.

They always come out perfect.

Whack them in the toaster.

Thought this thread was going to be about making your own waffles from scratch.

Suprisingly they can be microwaved. They should put that on the box.

I don't think BC was being snobby - everyone loves potato waffles!

If he's like me though, he'll get home from the shopping and get rid of all the cardboard packaging to make more room in the freezer!

And that's why we cut the cooking instructions off the box, and put them in the freezer bag with the items. We also write the date on it too. And sometimes, depending on how vague the items look, we write what the hell it is on there too. Nothing more exciting than playing freezer roulette.

Is there anyone who doesn't appreciate a good potato waffle?

Birds Eye are definitely the creme de la creme of the potato waffle world. With lashings of tomato ketchup.

I prefer mine a light golden colour, my girlfriend prefers them a darker colour. How do you like your waffles?

my friend does hers in the toaster

It might not be good to toast them in a toaster, I have done it myself though.

If you grill them on tinfoil you will see oil left over. This oil would be falling onto the base of your toaster and all the crumbs may be sticking to it and the oil might go manky.

There is also a new trend of people putting toasters on their sides to toast cheese on bread/toast. If the cheese fell in it would cause trouble, but even if the toaster is on its side with no cheese it might get hotter than it was designed for in some spots.

Golden-brown, topped with jalapenos and a thick layer of extra-mature cheddar, then whacked back under the grill for another few minutes.

Best hangover cure ever.

The crumb tray of my toaster slides out, I just give it a wipe after doing the waffles. Seemples.

This sounds pretty good! I love waffles, I love cheese, and a bit of kick can do no harm.

This is going on the list.

Toaster.... Fast satisfaction

Waffle sandwich ftw

Grilled until golden then placed between slices of buttered sliced pan (you'll need one and a half waffles). With salt, vinegar and ketchup.

I grill 'em bake 'em fry 'em eat 'em - they're wafflely versatile.

Oh my god. :eek:

Putting vinegar on waffles never occurred to me even I love it on chips.

I'm so doing this!

Waffles with vinegar and fried eggs. Nommmmmnm

Waffles with eggs that have been poached in vinegary water, so you get the perfect balance of white to yolk with each bite.

hardCopy

Two waffles together, colored crispy in the toaster, sandwiched around a pile of grated cheese, pinch of salt on too

Waffles, beans and a fried egg, just like the picture on the box

rubadub

I used to crack an egg on top of them when they were done, it would pour through & fill the holes.

Hard to beat that, tbh.

grilled, then add a slice or two of pepperoni, toast that a little (i like peperoni crispy), then cheese on top and back in teh grill (the sliced meat stops teh cheese escaping into the grill pan.

Spanish Eyes

Toasted in those toast pocket thingys in the toaster. no mess no fuss.

Then a fried egg on top. Drool.

I don't have any waffles in. What will I do now!

Waffles and a tin of Heinz spaghetti. Lived on it as a child. My friend actually made it for my birthday one year. One of the most heart warming moments of my life.
