- Heat waffle iron to medium-high.
- Grate both the parsnip and potato and measure to equal 2 cups. Squeeze out all moisture using 2 paper towels or a clean dish towel.
- Add to a medium bowl, with ghee, egg white and salt and pepper. Stir well.
- Spray iron with cooking spray and spoon potato mixture across the top. Close waffle iron and press firmly for one minute.
- Cook for 13-15 minutes or until there’s no more steam releasing.
- Prepare a small nonstick pan by coating with cooking spray and heating over medium heat. Crack egg and cook sunny side up. Lay on on top of hash browns.
Also, here’s a trick for perfect sunny side up eggs!!
Spray your pan, crack your eggs into it, put 1 ice cube inside then put a lid on top. The steam from the ice cooks the egg. No need to flip it over. No broken yolks.

Am I the only one seeing this article cropped? I can’t see the ingredients after the quesadilla!
We’re working on getting this fixed! Sorry about that!
Those cookies were sooooo delicious!
Thanks Cassey!
The panini is so delicious and easy!! I didn’t have sun dried tomatoes so I used just regular tomatoes!! Taste great!
I only saw part of your post before as I was pretty busy, but I remembered the main idea (making foods in a waffle iron) and made french toast in my waffle iron the next morning for breakfast. I think that the waffle iron version of french toast was the best I have EVER had!!! Your ideas are great too-can’t wait to try more!!!
I HATE eggs, but have been trying to hide them in stuff. For the hash browns, do you think it would still work if I put the whole egg in it rather than on top?
Just bought a waffle maker–time to go crazy!
i have a panini maker. I bet I could make these Waffle recipes using my panini maker. Anyone ever try it with a panini maker.
Definitely going to make those cookies for girls night tomorrow!
Woah it all looks so god damn tasty! I think i need to invest in a waffle maker!
