Ingredients

4 servings

1 ½ lbs russet potatoes (about 3 medium), peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
Fresh Russet Potato Speedy Spuds Potato - Each Prince Edward Island Potato Country Yellow Gold Pommes De Terre Potatoes
Green Giant Carbsmart Yellow Idaho Potatoes - 3 Lb
See all
¾ cup gluten free flour
1 tsp baking powder
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 large eggs
Chef's tip
For each egg, mix 1 tbsp ground flaxseed with 3 tbsp water and let it sit until it thickens. It holds ingredients together but won't make things rise - best in pancakes, muffins, and cookies.
½ cup whole milk
Chef's tip
Use plain, unsweetened soy milk, measured 1:1. It's one of the most reliable milk swaps and works in sauces, custards, and baked goods. For hot or acidic drinks, a barista-style soy milk resists curdling.
3 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Chef's tip
Use a stick or block-style dairy-free butter - not a soft tub spread - and swap one-for-one.
¾ cup shredded cheddar cheese
Chef's tip
If the dish is baked or melted, cover it or keep the heat gentle - dairy-free shreds melt more slowly than dairy cheese.
3 tbsp fresh chives, thinly sliced
neutral oil or cooking spray, for the waffle iron

Instructions

1
Place the potato chunks in a large pot, cover with cold salted water by at least 1 inch, and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce to a steady simmer and cook until the potatoes are completely tender and a fork slides through without resistance, about 15–18 minutes.
2
Drain the potatoes thoroughly and return them to the pot. Set over low heat for 1–2 minutes, shaking the pot occasionally, until any surface moisture has evaporated and the potatoes look dry and floury. Remove from heat and mash with a potato masher or pass through a ricer until smooth with no lumps. Spread the mash out slightly and let it cool for 5 minutes.
