We are having whole grain waffles for breakfast this morning. We pretty much just use it for that. I tried to use it like a panini and make a ham and cheese grilled sandwich. What a mess!

I had one once but after numerous moves I don't remember the last time I saw it . I don't think I have it any more . I love waffles but only have them in restaurants. By the way I tried the new Bee's knees chicken and waffle sandwich at Red Robin and I loved it . I had them leave off the jalapeños sauce though I don't like hot hot . I have had it 2 times and really liked it . It is not easy to eat the waffles are the buns so I just cut it up into bites. Now I am hungry for waffles !

Bee's knees sandwich

My mother cooked bacon waffles, and I still love them to this day.

Enjoy Waffle House in my area, but have requested bacon waffles, and they can't do for their reasons.

My favorite waffles are home made. Restaurants can't beat them. And be sure to warm the syrup too.

We have a George Forman grill that would be similar. I'd prefer to use that for non runny food. It would be easier to clean.

Well, now I just have to get my waffle iron out. I have two of them, one makes heart shaped ones. I might give that one to Alyssa. How do you make your potato pancakes? Do you have a recipe?

As a typical breakfast waffle, MUST have generous slather of real butter and REAL maple syrup.

Mother and I both had a Heloise Hints book and this is the waffle recipe we used. Light, fluffy crisp waffles:

Heloise Club Waffle waffle recipe

2 cups good biscuit mix

1 egg

1/2 cup vegetable oil

1 1/3 cups club soda

Combine the above ingredients with a large spoon, but don’t overmix. Use the batter immediately, since if it sits, it will go flat. Add to a hot waffle iron and voila -- light, fluffy, yummy waffles for everyone to enjoy! Go ahead and use all of the batter to make pancakes or waffles. Freeze waffles for a quick, yummy breakfast later. Just reheat. -- Heloise

No real recipe for potato pancakes... just sorta winged it? Raw, shredded potatoes and onions, Can't remember but if I rinsed potatoes, probably squeezed them as dry as possible. Some flour... maybe 1/2 cup or so. An egg, maybe 2. All mixed up and then "enough" milk to make a really thick batter... more potatoes/onions than anything else. Let waffle iron get nice any hot... mine has a red light that turns to green when ready. For regular waffles, when steam escaping around sides stops, usually done. When first checked, was "done" sorts... not sticking to grids but not very brown, so just gave it more time. Might try again without flour/eggs and a little oil... more like hash browns?

We used to drop spoonfuls of brownie batter in the waffle iron, cook it and then let it cool before slathering on chocolate frosting. My mom called them turtle cookies. Didn't have to heat up the whole kitchen in summertime for a treat.

Interesting....just got a message that my cook (DS) would not be home to prepare dinner and I responded that it was OK as I had been thinking about Waffles for dinner. Easy, peasy and good for our rainy rainy day.

Glenda , We have a local restaurant that had wonderful traditional waffles with your choice of ham bacon or sausage cooked right into the batter. Now they switched over to thicker waffles and they are no longer on the menu. I'm going to ask the owner why next time I see him. Maybe it has to do with the thick Belgian style waffles.

I love traditional waffles. The thick Belgians are a turn-off. I still have my old Sunbeam iron.

The only place I can get traditional American waffles is the House of Chicken and Waffles but it's an hour drive.

I haven't tried this, but your topic reminded me... Pillsbury refrigerated cinnamon rolls in the waffle iron. I suspect they would flatten and be crisper than the oven method.

OK you did it. I bought frozen toaster oven waffles today at the grocery store. I am stuck in the rv so that's the best I can do. Costco used to carry these most incredible Belgium waffles with chocolate on them they were sooo good but that was several years ago.

I tried a recipe with shredded sweet potatoes. I can't remember what it was but it didn't work out. It is strictly a waffle maker again.
