• 2 tbsp cornstarch

• 1 tsp salt

Method

• Switch on your waffle maker and leave it to heat up

• Peel the potato and grate with the coarse side of a grater into a bowl. Now press it against a strainer with the back of a spoon or use a cheese cloth to remove as much water as you can

• Grate your halloumi cheese and add it to the grated potatoes along with the cornflour. Add the salt and mix well with a spoon

• Repeat with the remainder of the batter

FAQS and Tips

• Are these waffles gluten-free? Yes! This recipe is naturally gluten-free and flourless because the batter is made only from grated potato and halloumi cheese.

• Can I make these waffles dairy-free? Since this recipe uses halloumi cheese, it is not dairy-free. However, you could experiment with dairy-free cheese alternatives that melt well.

• Can I make these without a waffle maker? Yes. You can cook the mixture in a non-stick frying pan like fritters, flattening it slightly and cooking until crispy on both sides.
