Ingredients: Serves 2-4
- 3 cups frozen shredded hash browns, thawed and squeezed dry
- ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 2 tbsp melted butter
- ½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions:
- Preheat your waffle iron to medium-high heat and lightly coat with nonstick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine hash browns, cheddar, Parmesan, egg, melted butter, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
- Spread an even layer of the mixture onto the hot waffle iron, pressing down slightly. Close the lid and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Pro Tips for Extra Crispiness:
