Bean and Potato Waffle Latkes

I was cleaning up the kitchen when I suddenly had the hankering to dirty the waffle iron I just got done washing.

There are a slew of recipes for waffle hash browns out there on the interwebs that immediately intrigued me.  I do love me some potatoes.  Some leftover beans in the fridge added a little more nutrition and I even was able to use up the last of the jalapeños before they went bad.  Score!

I was only cooking for myself at the time, so multiply this recipe by how many Latke waffles you want to create.

Ingredients:
1 medium Red Potato (2-3" diameter -- I suppose you could use the frozen kind, but I only had the real thing)
1/4 cup Vegan Re-fried Beans
1 Jalapeño, seeded and chopped
2 cloves Garlic, chopped
1/8 cup chopped Red Onion
1T Red Wine Vinegar (Malt Vinegar would have been so much better)

Directions:
Thoroughly wash the potato then shred with a grater.  It looks super ugly at first, but don't fret.  You'll want to put your shredded potato into a strainer and rinse thoroughly to get all the starches rinsed off.  Press the water out of the potatoes then add to mixing bowl.  Dump in all of the other ingredients, use fingers to mix all of the goodness together.  Once evenly mixed, spray preheated waffle iron with cooking spray then pour in the goodness.  Allow to cook until browned (mine took a little over 8 minutes, I just waited until I smelled all of the delicious goodness wafting out of the iron)

They turned out oh so pretty and totally delicious!  Next time, I will have to garnish with salsa or something equally amazing.
