Preheat your waffle maker according to the manufacturer’s instructions for about 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, grate russet potatoes and mix with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

Drizzle olive oil over the potato mixture and stir until evenly coated.

Generously coat both plates of the preheated waffle maker with cooking spray.

Scoop half of the potato mixture onto the waffle maker and cook for about 8-10 minutes.

Once crispy and golden, remove the hash browns and repeat with the remaining mixture.

Serve hot with optional toppings like sour cream, chives, or shredded cheese.
