Pulled Pork n Tater Waffles





One of those last minute decision suppers. I planned on making potato pancakes with a bit of leftover smooshed potatoes... but got kind of carried away.

The leftover potatoes...



Added about one TBS of baking powder, a little flour and a beaten egg. The potatoes were already seasoned with salt so I didn't add more.



Then came some chopped Hatch Chiles, pulled smoked pork and a few scallions...





Gave the waffle iron a spray of oil then scooped about 1/2 cup of the tater, pulled pork mixture in each spot. I didn't have a full 2 cups so the lower right one got shorted.



I checked the waffles and tasted the small one....



decided to leave the others in longer to "crisp" a bit more...





The pulled pork n tater waffle....



Topped with a fried egg...







I'll be making these again. The waffles had great flavor, were crisp on the outside and tender in the center. They were a lot quicker to make than the potato pancakes I had originally planned on making. (no flipping).

Another good use for leftover pulled pork too!

The weather has been great here! Actually getting a bit of rain, the grass is turning green and right now my rose bush is blooming. I try to pick fresh flowers every day and bring them inside....the house smells so sweet. :)
Hope everyone has a great week!

That looks like a damned fine way to use leftover mash. I often mix it with onions and bacon and fry it on a griddle. I like this idea much better.

Regarding the Hatch chiles, are they canned? Don't know if I can get them here.

Thanks,
Joe

Joe, Thanks! I like the sound of your bacon idea. Will give that a try.
The hatch chiles were some that blistered, peeled and froze last fall.
I think they come canned though.
Any green chiles would work I bet.
Hope you're havin' a good week. Thanks for stopping by! :)

This looks very tasty indeed.
Actually have all the ingredients aside from the mashed potatoes so this is a very good reason to whip up a batch.
Great post!
