    Leftover tater tots in a waffle iron are amazing to reheat them. Then add chives, sour cream, cheese, bacon or anything that you'd put on fries or a potato.

    We take waffles seriously in our house kzread.infoUgkxUfphIgghPSpAXNq6OG2WRYsFVqylcqMn and worked our old one through many years of Sunday brunches till it finally gave out on us. Our old one only made two at a time, this one makes four! Nicely sized 1 inch thick which are lovely! Now the kids don't have to wait as long to eat our weekly waffle breakfast and everyone's are hot if we wait and eat all together! Setting 3 seems to work perfect for golden brown. Be sure to pour the batter in the center of each waffle square, not the center of the iron like the novice that posted the scorched waffles photo. About a 1/4 to 1/3 cup of batter in each seemed to work well for us. We tested making just one at a time so we could use all the remaining batter and it made it just as fluffy and golden as when we made 4!

BTW, you can make tasty gorditas in a regular waffle iron. 2 cups instant corn masa 1 1/3 cup milk 1 egg 2 Tbsp. vegetable oil Mix together and bake as for waffles. Top with refried beans, cheese, maybe meat, shredded lettuce, onions, salsa, maybe sour cream, and what have you.
