About this dish

Potato waffles are a potato-based savoury food formed into a grid pattern resembling a waffle. They are common in the United Kingdom and Ireland and are also available in other countries. From the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, frozen foods became increasingly popular in the United Kingdom. This growth has been linked to the increasing availability of domestic freezers and demand for convenient meal options. During this period, products such as Findus Crispy Pancakes and Birds Eye potato waffles were introduced and began being served in British households. Birds Eye began producing potato waffles in 1981. The product was accompanied by a jingle featuring the phrase "waffly versatile", which was used in advertising. Potato waffles are made from potatoes combined with vegetable oil and seasonings.
