Easy Waffle Chips Food

GREAT EASY WAFFLES

Steps:

• Preheat a waffle iron according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, sugar, and salt together in a mixing bowl; set aside. Beat egg whites until foamy in a separate large glass or metal mixing bowl. Whisk the egg yolks, lemon zest, and vanilla extract together in a third bowl; whisk in the milk. Stir in the flour mixture until smooth. Fold in the melted butter and then the beaten egg whites until just incorporated.
• Cook the waffles according to manufacturer's instructions until golden brown.

EASY WAFFLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Using a mandoline fitted with the zigzag blade, firmly and evenly slice potatoes 1/8 inch thick, rotating a quarter-turn after each slice to create a waffle pattern. Soak slices in cold water overnight.
• Fill a heavy-bottomed pot with 2 inches oil. Heat over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer reads 340 degrees. Meanwhile, drain potatoes; dry well with paper towels.
• Fry potatoes in batches, turning occasionally, until golden brown and bubbles subside, about 3 minutes a batch. (Adjust heat between batches to keep oil temperature between 325 degrees and 340 degrees.) Drain on paper towels. While still warm, season with salt.

WAFFLED CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk together the flour, baking soda and salt in a medium bowl. Beat the sugars and butter with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the vanilla and egg until incorporated. Adjust the speed to medium-low and add the flour in 2 batches, mixing until incorporated. Mix in the chocolate chips. Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes if time allows.
• Preheat a waffle iron to medium-low. Generously spray the top and bottom of the waffle iron with cooking spray. Scoop tablespoons of the dough, roll into balls and flatten slightly. Working in batches, place 1 dough round onto each section of the waffle iron, close gently and cook until slightly crisp, 3 to 6 minutes.
• Serve the cookies warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 day.

WAFFLE CHIPS

Steps:

• Using the fluted blade of the French mandoline, cut the potato into 1/8-inch-thick slices, creating the waffle pattern by turning the potato a quarter-turn after each slice. Transfer potato slices to a bowl of cool water to prevent discoloration.
• In a heavy-bottomed Dutch oven or high-sided stockpot, heat the oil until a deep-frying thermometer registers 300 degrees. Remove about 12 potato slices from the water, place on a clean kitchen towel or paper towel, and thoroughly pat dry. Carefully slip the potato slices into the oil, and fry, moving slices with tongs or a slotted spoon, until golden, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer chips to paper towels to drain, and sprinkle with salt. Repeat until all the potato slices are fried. Let cool. The chips can be made in advance and kept in an airtight container at room temperature up to 4 days. In very humid weather, the chips may absorb moisture and soften. To re-crisp them, heat in a warm oven. Under these conditions, they are best made just 1 day in advance.
