Potato waffles - useful tips and tricks
No need to salt potato dough in advance. The vegetable will produce juice, the dough will become thinner, you will still have to add flour, which will not affect the taste very well.
Do not cook a lot of waffles at once. Potato products lose their taste after cooling, as do butterflies. It is better to make small servings for a single use.
If you want to change the taste of ordinary potato waffles, you can add a few mushrooms, fish, sweet pepper or just crumble a bouillon cube.
