Potato waffles

A deliciously tasty potato dish based on the classic pommes dauphine. This combination of mashed potato and choux pastry is normally piped and deep-fried, but in this dish we bake the batter in a waffle iron. These waffle irons can be purchased from cookware specialists or wholesalers and are inexpensive. If you like, you can cook these waffles plain or mix them in advance with green herbs or anchovies.
