Hot Potato Waffles with Chanterelles

4 servings

15 minutes

Sergey Astafyev from the Krombacher Beer Kitchen restaurant transforms the strong friendship of mushrooms and potatoes into a plump potato waffle, on which he places a whole meadow of fried chanterelles. There are two subtle points - firstly , the waffles turn out tasty if they have little flour, so it is worth baking them on the starch left over from grated potatoes (how to do this is described in detail in the recipe). Secondly, the dish looks especially nice if the chanterelles are very small, the size of a bottle cap - then the waffle becomes a large crispy plate for the mushrooms.
