Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, mix mashed potatoes, buttermilk, and eggs. Add flour and a pinch of salt and stir until just incorporated. Fold in cheese, ham, and dark green parts of the scallions. Set aside the rest of the scallions for later.
  2. Heat a large Belgian waffle maker on medium heat. When the iron is hot, spray it with cooking spray. Add 1 cup of mashed potato mixture onto the waffle iron and spread evenly. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until the waffles are golden brown. Repeat for the remaining mixture.
  3. To make the roasted red pepper sauce, heat a small skillet over medium heat. Add a tablespoon of olive oil and swirl. Add red onions and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, or until they soften. Add chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds. Stir in sliced red peppers and remaining scallions and cook for a minute. Add chicken stock and cook for 2 minutes. Stir in agave, oregano and cumin, and turn off the heat. Blend everything until smooth. Adjust seasoning to your taste. Serve sauce with waffles.
