ECO Lunchbox Three-in-One #74
Vegan mashed potato waffles from the Idaho Potato Commission, applesauce, celery stuffed with peanut butter, and non-dairy sour cream.
The celery and peanut butter are there to make this less a carb-overload meal. They worked for that, but it was kind of a weird addition here--let's call them my appetizer.
If I'd had the time and bandwidth, I envisioned topping the waffles with cooked spinach and mushrooms. They would be good that way, or maybe with some gravy, or maybe as a bread substitute for a burger of some kind. But they were also really quite good just with non-dairy sour cream. I did transfer them to a paper towel and warm them in the microwave a bit before I ate them--they're nothing to be proud of when cold--but this recipe is a keeper. The Idaho Potato Commission! Who knew!?
I love that my waffle maker produces little waffles the exact right size for this box. But I also wish I had a bigger one so the process went a bit faster. Oh, well. That's life!

OMG those waffles! Those look and sound incredible and it's such a great idea! There are few things that are better than potatoes with sour cream too. Your bento looks perfect :)
ReplyDeleteI would be verrrry into mashed potato waffles! I almost like leftover mashed potatoes as pancakes with the crispy edges better than the original mashed potatoes.
