Hashbrown Waffles with Cheddar Cheese, Sausage, Scrambled Eggs and Salsa

This is a completely different way of thinking about two different dishes: hashbrown and waffles. Shredding the potatoes and cooking them in a waffle iron is a smart hack for getting crispy hashbrowns in a jiffy. Just be sure to press out all their moisture to ensure the waffle hashbrowns don’t turn out soggy.
