Ingredients

1 1/2 cups leftover mashed sweet potatoes
6 ounces Marieke® Gouda Plain Young cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)
2 large eggs
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
Black beans, warmed
Salsa
Guacamole
Fried eggs
Additional Marieke® Gouda Plain Young cheese

Cheese

Look for the Proudly Wisconsin Badge when shopping for cheese. Any brand of Wisconsin Gouda can be used in this recipe.

Instructions

Combine the potatoes, gouda, eggs and flour in a large bowl. Bake batter (about 1 cup) in a waffle iron, according to the manufacturer’s directions for greasing and cooking, for 4-6 minutes or until golden brown.
Top waffles with black beans, salsa, guacamole, fried eggs and additional gouda.

Recipe Tip

The waffle batter should be thick and spreadable; the amount of cream or milk and butter included in the mashed potato recipe determines its consistency. If the batter is too dry, add an additional egg. If it is too wet, add flour (1 tablespoon at a time) until desired consistency.

Cheesemonger Tip

Marieke® Gouda is an artisan cheese created with an authentic, Old-World Gouda recipe, and it stars fresh milk from their family’s dairy.
