Think of these crisp, savory delights as a cross between a latke and a waffle. Dolloped extra-small, they're great as appetizers, and the same batter (thinned with a bit of milk) makes outrageous pancakes. Turn your leftover mashed potatoes into something great with your waffle iron. Serve these as a savory brunch option alongside scrambled eggs. The outside of the waffles will be crisp while the sour cream adds a cool texture and the final sprinkle of bacon and green onions brighten and finish the dish.
