Ingredients

Parmesan Mashed Potato Waffles

Sandwiches

  • leftover turkey enough for 4 triangles
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 avocado lightly mashed
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 4 ounces brie sliced (or more!)
  • leftover cranberry sauce
  • 8 slices cooked thick cut bacon optional
  • 4 eggs cooked to your liking (optional)

Instructions

  • To make the waffles. In a medium bowl whisk together the mashed potatoes, buttermilk, eggs and melted butter until smooth. Stir in the minced sage.
  • Add the flour, baking soda and baking powder and stir until just combined. Fold in the parmesan cheese.
  • Preheat waffle iron. When ready scoop the batter (you will need to spread the batter out using the back of a spoon) into the hot, greased waffle maker and cook to your preference. Repeat with the remaining batter. The batter should make about 4-5 waffles, depending on you waffle maker. Tear 2 of those waffles into fourths. If you are using a square waffles just leave them whole.
  • Prep the sandwiches. Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once hot add the turkey and get it buttery and crisp all over, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat
  • Add the avocado to a bowl and lightly mash with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  • Assemble the sandwiches. Preheat the oven to 425 degree F. Line a baking sheet with parchment and place the waffles on the baking sheet.
  • Spread the mashed avocado on four of the waffle triangles (or squares or whatever shape you have). Top with sliced brie, then the warm buttery turkey, a dollop of cranberry sauce and two slices of bacon (if using). Now grab the tops to the sandwiches (the remaining four triangles) and add a slice or two of brie. Place the pan in the oven for 5 minutes, watching closely to make sure the brie is not getting too melty! During this time I fried my eggs.
  • Remove from the oven and top each triangle with one egg and then place the tops on the sandwiches. Push down and eat!! FYI, it is going to be a bit messy. We had to use a fork for these!
