Ingredients

325g leftover mashed potatoes, at room temperature (see 'goes well with', below)
118ml whole milk
100g plain flour
1⁄2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 spring onions, finely sliced
melted butter, for the waffle maker
smoked salmon or cooked bacon, poached or fried eggs, soured cream or crème fraîche and chives, to serve (optional)
1⁄4 tsp poppy seeds
1⁄4 tsp toasted sesame seeds
1⁄4 tsp garlic granules
1 tsp crispy onions

Steps:

Heat a waffle maker. Mix the ingredients for the seasoning in a small bowl to combine. In a larger bowl, mix the mash with the milk, then add the flour, bicarb, ½ tsp salt and 1 tsp sugar. Fold in the spring onions and seasoning mix.
Brush the waffle maker with a little melted butter. Spoon in half the batter and spread it out. Cook for 5 mins, or until golden and cooked through.
Lift the waffle onto a plate using a fork or spatula, and loosely cover to keep warm. Brush the waffle maker with a little more melted butter and repeat the process with the remaining batter.
Top the waffles with smoked salmon or bacon rashers, if using, and a fried or poached egg, as preferred. Season and serve with dollops of soured cream or crème fraîche, if you like.
