Parmesan Mashed Potato Waffles
1 1/2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
1 cup buttermilk
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter, melted
4-5 sage leaves, minced
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
Sandwiches
leftover turkey (enough for 4 triangles)
1 tablespoon butter
1 avocado, lightly mashed
salt and pepper to taste
4 ounces brie, sliced (or more!)
leftover cranberry sauce
8 slices cooked thick cut bacon (optional)
4 eggs, cooked to your liking (optional)
Instructions
- To make the waffles. In a medium bowl whisk together the mashed potatoes, buttermilk, eggs and melted butter until smooth. Stir in the minced sage.
- Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and stir until just combined. Fold in the parmesan cheese.
- Preheat waffle iron. When ready scoop the batter (you will need to spread the batter out using the back of a spoon) into the hot, greased waffle maker and cook to your preference. Repeat with the remaining batter. The batter should make about 4-5 waffles, depending on you waffle maker. Tear 2 of those waffles into fourths. If you are using a square waffles just leave them whole.
- Prep the sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once hot add the turkey and get it buttery and crisp all over, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat
- Add the avocado to a bowl and lightly mash with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Assemble the sandwiches. Preheat the oven to 425 degree F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the waffles on the baking sheet.
- Spread the mashed avocado on four of the waffle triangles (or squares or whatever shape you have). Top with sliced brie, then the warm buttery turkey, a dollop of cranberry sauce and two slices of bacon (if using). Now grab the tops to the sandwiches (the remaining four triangles) and add a slice or two of brie. Place the pan in the oven for 5 minutes, watching closely to make sure the brie is not getting too melty! During this time I fried my eggs.
- Remove from the oven and top each triangle with one egg and then place the tops on the sandwiches. Push down and eat!! FYI, it is going to be a bit messy. We had to use a fork for these!
Oh, and do the egg. The egg is so good!
