The first time I made hashbrowns in a waffle maker, I was probably about 12 years old. Later, I adapted my favorite latke recipe and came up with this.

- 1 1/2 poundsrusset potatoes -- peeled
- 1/3 cupdiced green onions -- white and light green parts

- 3 tablespoonsmelted butter -- for waffle maker

- Sour cream -- if not using topping

Instructions
- 1
Heat a waffle maker. (If your maker has heat controls, set the control to medium-high heat).
- 2
If you are making the topping, mix the sour cream and horseradish together, cover, and set in the refrigerator.
- 3
Grate the potatoes with the medium-grater disk of your food processor or grate with a box grater using the medium grate. Place the grated potatoes on paper towels and roll and squeeze gently to remove the excess liquid.

In the same food processor bowl, using the fitted metal blade, finely chop the green onions.

Put the potatoes in a bowl and add the green onions, butter, egg, and flour. Mix, using a fork. Season with salt and pepper and mix again.

Brush the waffle-maker top and bottom grates with melted butter. Use a heaping 1/3 cup of potato mixture for each latke. Place the 1/3 cup of the mixture in each section of the bottom grate of your waffle maker; spread the mixture out with the measuring cup's bottom. Close the waffle maker and cook for 6-10 minutes. Repeat this process for the remaining latkes. (See note on keeping them warm.)

Sprinkle the latkes with Malden Sea Salt and serve with horseradish sour cream mixture or sour cream and applesauce.
