6 Waffles

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
6 ounces Marieke® Gouda Plain Young cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Sour cream
Cooked and crumbled bacon
Snipped fresh chives
Additional Marieke® Gouda Plain Young cheese, shredded

Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Gouda can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Combine the potatoes, gouda, eggs and flour in a large bowl. Bake batter (about 1 cup) in a waffle iron, according to the manufacturer’s directions for greasing and cooking, for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown.
Top waffles with sour cream, bacon, chives and additional gouda.

Recipe Tip

The waffle batter should be thick and spreadable; the amount of cream or milk and butter included in the mashed potato recipe determines its consistency. If the batter is too dry, add an additional egg. If it is too wet, add flour (a tablespoon at a time) until desired consistency.

Cheesemonger Tip

Young gouda cheese has a sweet curd that’s smooth, creamy and buttery. When gouda is aged the cheese flavor becomes more complex with caramel notes and a slight crystalline texture.
