Instructions

Grate the potatoes (and onion if using). Use a box grater or food processor with a coarse grating disc.
If using russet potatoes, squeeze out the excess water. Use a cheesecloth or nut milk bag to wring out as much of the onion and potato water as possible. Discard the water. This step is not necessary if using sweet potatoes.
Combine the ingredients in a large bowl. Stir to combine the arrowroot powder and seasonings with the potato mixture. Set aside the mixture briefly.
Use the waffle iron. Heat the waffle iron to medium heat. Lightly coat both sides of the waffle iron with olive or avocado oil and then spread about 2 packed cups of the mixture into one even layer. Let it cook for a full cycle and then open to check whether done. If not, let it cook longer on the waffle iron until crispy.
Serve. Transfer the waffle to a large plate and enjoy immediately. Serve with sour cream, apple sauce or other toppings listed in the blog post above. For the savory recipe: repeat the process with the second half of the batter.

Notes

Keep it neutral. For maximum versatility, I like to keep the batter neutral. You can always add cinnamon and vanilla for a sweet version or herbs and spices for savory.

Make ahead and reheat. Let leftover waffles cool to room temperature before storing in an airtight container. To reheat, pop them in the toaster, air fryer or back in the waffle iron. Avoid microwaving - they'll lose their crispiness!
