Ingredients

For the Hash Brown Waffles:

3 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed

2 large eggs

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or any melty cheese)

2 tbsp melted butter or oil

½ tsp garlic powder

½ tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

For the Slider Filling:

4–6 cooked sausage patties, bacon strips, or plant-based patties

4 scrambled or fried eggs

Additional cheese slices (optional)

Maple syrup or hot sauce for serving

Instructions

Preheat the waffle maker and lightly grease it.

Mix the hash brown batter: In a large bowl, combine hash browns, eggs, shredded cheese, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until fully combined.

Cook the waffle hash browns: Add a generous scoop of the mixture into the waffle maker and press down firmly. Cook until golden and crispy, usually 5–7 minutes. Repeat until all batter is used.

Prepare slider fillings: Cook eggs and breakfast meat of your choice.

Assemble the sliders: Cut each waffle into quarters. Layer with eggs, meat, and extra cheese if desired. Top with another waffle quarter.

Serve warm, drizzled with maple syrup or topped with your favorite breakfast sauce.

Serving and Storage Tips

Serve immediately for the crispiest texture.

Pair with fresh fruit, yogurt, or a simple side salad for a complete breakfast.

For storage, refrigerate assembled sliders for up to 3 days in an airtight container.

Reheat in a toaster oven or air fryer to restore the crunch—microwaving may soften the waffles.

Freeze plain waffle hash browns for up to 2 months, reheating as needed and assembling fresh.
