Basil & Chives Potato Waffles with Chorizo, Mascarpone and Butter-Honey Sauce
*This is a sponsored post but all photos, opinions and the recipe are of course my own.*
A delicious Belgian waffle with whipped cream, fresh fruit and powdered sugar: oh isn’t that a treat? It’s no wonder Belgium is known around the world for their waffles. But even though they are usually considered to be a sweat treat, you can get very creative with these waffles, which is exactly what I decided to do.
Even though I had never eaten them myself, I decided to give this Belgian classic an Irish twist by turning them into potato waffles, made from creamy mashed potatoes with lovely Kerrygold butter and herbs, served with cold mascarpone balls, crispy chorizo and tasty spring onion. As a finishing touch I made a honey-butter sauce, which you can firm up in the fridge and then serve as little peaks on top, after which they’ll melt all over the waffle.
You can of course make up your own toppings, like bacon or an egg if you want to make a breakfast potato waffle, or you can also serve it with other things like Irish lamb, steak, sausages or rotisserie chicken or even some fresh cod.

Directions
Peel the potatoes while boiling a pot with salted water
Drain the potatoes and put them back on low heat.
Add the eggs and 50g of Kerrygold butter and mash it

Heat up a waffle iron and add a bit of butter to it.
While baking the waffles you should have enough time to work on the other ingredients.
Let's start with our butter-honey sauce.
When nearly all the waffles are done, slice up the chorizo in slices and do the same for the spring onion.
Plating time!

Okay I’ve seen this so often, but now I really have to try it. I do not get it mentally that a waffle should be sweet and not savory hahaha
