Ingredients

  • 3 yellow flesh potatoes (about 1 lb/454 g)
  • 1 lb (454 g) boneless, skinless turkey breast
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) all-purpose flour
  • 3/4 tsp (4 mL) salt, divided
  • 1/4 tsp (1 mL) each ground mustard and pepper
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 1 cup (250 mL) crushed kettle cooked potato chips
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) dried sage leaves, crumbled or dried thyme leaves
  • 3/4 cup (175 mL) shredded Jalapeño Monterey Jack cheese
  • 2 tbsp (30 mL) butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) cranberry sauce

Instructions

  • Place potatoes in boiling water for 10 minutes. Drain and let cool enough to handle. Using a cheese grater, grate potatoes; set aside.
  • Cut turkey breast into 4 lengthwise pieces. Sprinkle turkey with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the salt.
  • In a shallow bowl, toss flour with 1/4 tsp (1 mL) of the salt, mustard and pepper. Combine chips and sage in another bowl.
  • Dip turkey pieces into flour to coat well. Dip into egg and then coat with potato chip mixture. Place onto parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in 400 F (200 C) oven for about 15 minutes, turning once until golden brown and no longer pink inside.
  • Meanwhile, toss potatoes with cheese, butter and remaining salt. Place about 1/2 cup (125 mL) of the potato mixture onto preheated waffle iron; close lid and cook until golden brown and crispy. (Time and amount will vary depending on waffle iron used) Repeat with remaining ingredients.
  • Place turkey on potato waffles and top with cranberry sauce to serve.

Chef's Tips

  • You can boil and grate the potatoes up to 1 day ahead.
  • You should get about 8 waffles for this recipe (this will vary depending on waffle iron size used).
  • You will need about 4 cups (1 L) of chips to get 1 cup (250 mL) crushed.
  • Experiment in your own kitchen and try a variety of chips and chip flavours! You might find you have a few favourites.
