Preheat your waffle maker and lightly coat with cooking spray or brush with oil.

In a medium bowl, combine shredded hashbrown potatoes and shredded cheese.

Crack eggs into the bowl and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, parsley, salt, and pepper over the mixture.

Stir everything together until evenly combined into a chunky batter.

Scoop a generous portion of the mixture onto the preheated waffle maker, spreading so it covers the shape evenly.

Close the lid and cook for 4–6 minutes until crisp and golden.

Carefully remove the chaffle with a silicone or heat-safe tool to avoid scratching the waffle maker.

Repeat with remaining batter, adjusting heat or spray as needed.

Serve hot right off the waffle maker with your favorite toppings or sides.
