Evelyn’s Waffle Maker’s Potato Waffles

Hello, Darlings,

Yesterday evening, I had the desire for the old fashion potato pancakes my father use to make. He cooked the either on Sunday mornings or when he was grilling meats on the summer holidays. I don’t know why I thoughts of these potato pancakes, I was a little girl and my father has been dead many years, yet, his potato pancakes gain to my mind so much so that I want to makes and eat some.

Since I was a little girl between seven and ten years of age, I don’t know what his recipe was, but his potato pancakes to that long ago little girl were the best, mostly because my father made them.

Anyway, I decided to look up the recipe in my Betty Crocker cookbooks, because back then as today we always had and have a Betty Crocker cookbook around the house. I have two copies, but each one are from different decades in the Betty Crocker cookbook library; and among the many recipes I found online, only one had a recipe that looked like it may have been the one my father use. it is a photograph that someone posted it in Pinterest for people like me, who are always looking for vintage things. However, the recipe called for it to be cooked in a skittle. While the other recipes called for baking them the oven.

All of which I did not want to do, so I opted to use my waffle maker. After adapting the many recipes to my personal taste, I created the ‘Evelyn’s Waffle Maker’s Potato Waffles’
