If you are like me then you probably only pull out the waffle iron 3-4 times a year. After being on stranded on the boat without my stove top I was forced to make my waffle iron be the source of all cooking! I felt like a Girl Scout again trying to earn a badge! But I did it! How about fried potatoes using tater tots? They are incredible! I even used sweet potato tots! Those were a family favorite.
Garlic and Herb Hashbrowns
1 package garlic and pepper tater tots, thawed

Preheat your waffle iron to high heat. Spray with nonstick cooking spray. Line the tater tots all over the waffle iron then lower the top. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove from waffle iron. Sprinkle with more chives and grated parmesan cheese.
