Loaded Potato Waffles with Chili

February 20, 2026

These Loaded Potato Waffles start with one simple ingredient, a boiled potato pressed into a waffle iron until golden and crisp. The result is a savory waffle with crunchy edges and a tender center, ready to hold something bold on top.

Here, they’re piled high with warm Plant Strong Chili and finished with toppings that match the flavor profile, avocado, fresh herbs, corn, tomato, or a drizzle of sriracha. It’s hearty, colorful, and deeply satisfying.

A humble potato becomes a complete, plant-powered meal with nothing more than a waffle iron and a ladle of chili.

Loaded Potato Waffles with Chili

Boil a potato. Press it into a waffle iron. Top it with chili.

That’s the whole idea.

Crispy on the outside, soft inside, these potato waffles turn into a sturdy base for any Plant Strong Chili. Add toppings that complement your favorite flavor, from creamy avocado to fresh herbs or a splash of hot sauce. It’s simple, filling, and surprisingly fun.
