Sausage, Cheese and Potato Waffles

Whole Wheat Sausage, Potato and Cheese Waffles

Ingredients

• 12 ounces sausage (I use Smithfield All Natural to avoid preservatives)
• 3 cups whole wheat (I use half white/half whole wheat, you could also use all white flour)
• 3 eggs
• 3 1/2 cups milk, buttermilk, or half yogurt/half milk (I use half Greek yogurt for extra protein)
• 4 teaspoons baking powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2/3 cup butter, melted
• 1 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (I use sharp)
• 1 large potato, grated
• Maple Syrup (optional)

Instructions

• Saute sausage and chop into small pieces while in pan.
• Drain and set aside
• Grate potato and set aside
• Mix flour, baking powder and salt into large bowl
• Combine milk and egg and mix to combine and then pour over flour mixture, along with melted butter.
• Mix gently, adding in sausage, potato and cheese. Don't over mix, just mix to combine
• I use heaping 1/4 cup of mixture into each waffle section and cook until done.
• Serve with maple syrup (optional)

Notes

Can be made ahead and frozen. Thaw and toast to crisp and warm.
