French Fries Waffles
From champagnetime 10 years ago
- 30 minutes to make
- Serves 4 to 6
The fries go in cold and get compressed into the waffle compartments where they begin by shedding some of their fat, then continue by frying in that fat. They take a little longer than you'd expect—10 to 15 minutes or so—but you'll know they're ready when every nook and cranny is fully crisped.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs leftover cold French fries, or thawed frozen french fries shopping list
- kosher salt shopping list
- mayonnaise or ketchup for serving shopping list
How to make it
- 1. Preheat a Belgian waffle iron according to manufacturer instructions.
- 2. Add half of French fries and press down firmly to compress (If using a two-well waffle iron, fill both sides).
- 3. Cook until completely crisp and golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes (if using a single well waffle iron, hold finished waffle on a rack set in a rimmed baking sheet in a 200°F oven while you cook the second waffle).
- 4. Season with salt and serve with mayonnaise or ketchup immediately.

I was in Burger King territory today so I picked up a large order of fries so I could try this. I just have a plain ol' waffle maker - not a Belgian one so I cooked them until the green light came on, lifted the lid until it turned red again and the...more

I tried this again with diner fries. They have more grease in them and it worked a lot better! I added another picture.
