Missing an ingredient?
Leftover recipes usually get made on a whim, so here is what to do when the fridge is short:
- No buttermilk: milk soured with a little lemon juice or vinegar is the classic stand-in. See our buttermilk substitutes.
- No sour cream for the topping: plain Greek yogurt is the closest swap. More options in our sour cream substitute guide.
- Short on eggs: the eggs hold these waffles together, so a substitute changes them more than in most recipes. Our guide to what to use instead of eggs says which swaps hold best.
- No scallions: chives or a little finely chopped onion.
Tips
- Check the leftovers: cooked mashed potatoes keep 3 to 4 days in the fridge, the same as most Thanksgiving leftovers. Our guide to how long leftovers last has the details.
- Grease the waffle iron well. Potato and cheese batter sticks more than a sweet batter does.
- Don’t open the iron too early. Wait until the steam slows down; the outside needs time to crisp, or the waffle tears.
- Keep them crisp: hold finished waffles on a rack in a low oven instead of stacking them on a plate.
- Serve with: sour cream and extra scallions, a fried egg, or leftover turkey and gravy.
