Serves: 6

Preparation time: 20 mins

Cooking time: 25 mins

Ingredients needed to make Potato Waffles:

For the waffles:

• 8 oz all purpose flour
• 9 oz mashed potatoes
• 6 egg whites
• 7 fl oz milk
• 1 tbsp baking powder
• 1 ¾ ox unsalted butter, melted

For the spinach sauce:

• Handful of baby spinach, finely chopped
• 2 egg yolks
• Juice of ½ lemon
• 2 ¾ fl oz white wine vinegar
• 2 tsp Dijon mustard
• 4 tsp caster sugar
• 9 fl oz olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Cooking instructions for Potato Waffles:

• To make the sauce, add the egg yolks into a food processor, along with a splash of fresh lemon juice, mustard, white wine vinegar, sugar and a dash of seasonings.
• Blitz them until well combined and drizzle the oil in a steady stream while the motor of the processor still runs, until off it is used to form a thick, gooey mayonnaise.
• Stir in the chopped spinach until well coated with the mayo dressing and leave it in the refrigerator until the waffle is ready to serve.
• To make the waffles, place the flour in a large bowl and stir in the baking powder.
• Add the mashed potato and butter into it, followed by a splash of milk and stir them all together until they blend into an even mixture.
• Beat the egg whites in a separate bowl until they form stiff yet moist peaks and fold it into the flour mixture until they blend thoroughly.
• Grease a waffle iron with a lashing of oil and warm it up.
• Ladle some of the batter into the hot waffle iron and cook for about 5 minutes or until it is cooked through and turn golden brown in colour.
• Transfer it to a serving plate and keep warm while you prepare rest of the waffles in a similar fashion.
• Drizzle the spinach sauce all over each waffle and serve warm
