YIELD: 6 SERVINGS PREP TIME: 10 MINUTES COOK TIME: 15 MINUTES TOTAL TIME: 25 MINUTES
Crunchy, yet silky smooth hashbrowns made right in the waffle iron. So quick, so easy, and just so darn good!

INGREDIENTS:

1 (20-ounce) package refrigerated hash brown potatoes (I used about half that and it worked fine)
8 ounces black forest ham, diced
1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
3 large eggs, beaten
2 cloves garlic minced (I just sprinkled in some garlic powder)
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Lightly oil the top and bottom of the waffle iron or coat with nonstick spray.
In a large bowl, combine hash brown potatoes, ham, cheese, eggs, garlic, parsley, thyme and paprika; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Pour a scant 1/2 cup of the potato mixture into the waffle iron, close gently and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4-5 minutes.
Serve immediately.
