Dash Waffle Maker
This is the little waffle maker that could! I love its size because it doesn’t take up any space at all in my kitchen cabinets. It is also extremely versatile. I have used it to make other things besides breakfast waffles! Did you know you can use a waffle maker with cookie dough, scrambled eggs, and mashed potatoes?
One year at Thanksgiving, instead of traditional mashed potatoes, I made mashed potato waffles and they were a hit! Your imagination can really run wild with these little guys! I have had mine for 3 or 4 years now, so they actually last too. I bought mine on Amazon, where they have a variety of color options, and even a heart shaped waffle option, if you care about that sort of thing 😉
