Perunavohvelit – Potato waffles
For February’s first Wednesday Waffles we have another savory version from Finland, potato waffles!
A great hearty everyday food, that’s also gluten free, and tastes great for everyone at the table!
As I have mentioned in previous waffle entries, please keep in mind that for Finnish waffles, or Scandinavian waffles in general, you will need a heart waffle maker. The biggest difference here isn’t that they’re heart shaped, but they are also a lot thinner than the usual American/Belgian waffles. A waffle maker like this would be perfect, and let’s you cook two at the time!
