Potato waffles are a potato-based savoury dish in a waffle shape.[1] They are common in the United Kingdom and Ireland and are also available in some other countries, including Australia,[2] Canada and United States.
Potato waffles are made of potatoes (typically mashed or grated), oil, and seasonings,[3] though commercial waffles may contain other ingredients such as stabilizers, dextrose, and rice flour.[4] They are sold frozen, and may be baked, grilled, or fried, and are used as a side dish, often together with sausages or bacon, or as a snack food. One of the leading brands is Birds Eye, who introduced the item in 1981.[5]
