Meatless Monday: Potato Parsnip Waffles

Potato Parsnip Waffles are kind of like latkes.

Like latkes, they are made with grated potatoes and onion. They also taste great with applesauce and sour cream.

Unlike latkes, the batter contains parsnips and flour and is cooked in a waffle iron not in a pan.

You can eat them with ketchup, serve them as a base for a veggie hash, or offer them instead of toast to accompany some eggs.

You decide.
