I ran into this awesome website a few weeks ago that boldly and hilariously strives to answer the age old question: will it waffle?
I decided to take a stab at their waffleized crispy potato hash browns recipe this morning using purple potatoes from the CSA. Totally fabulous: a no-brainer recipe that doesn't involve carefully watching hash browns on the stove top to make sure they don't burn. The hash browns came out super crispy and delicious. Give it a try!
