Rösti-Style Potato Waffles

Preparation

1. Grate the potatoes. On a clean tea towel, place half of the grated potatoes at a time and wring well over the sink to squeeze out excess liquid. You should have about 6 cups (1.5 L) of grated potatoes.
2. In a bowl, combine the potatoes with the butter and salt.
3. Preheat the waffle iron. Lightly oil it. Spread half of the potato mixture onto the waffle iron. Close. Cook for 12 to 14 minutes or until the rösti waffles are golden and crisp. Keep warm in an oven preheated to 200°F (95°C). Repeat with the remaining potato mixture.
4. Serve the röstis with bacon and eggs or, even better, a meat stew.
