Chances are, unless you live in Columbia Heights you haven’t made it to the Waffle Shop since we recommended it last week. Despite a bit of controversy in the comments section, we firmly stand by our recommendation and hope you get there soon. If you still need a bit of inspiration to fuel a trip to the Heights for breakfast eats, then try the recipe below. It’s a brief departure from the more authentic recipe served at the Waffle Shop, but the potato cake is much easier to prepare than a hand made tortilla. What’s left is the real deal.

U.S. nutritional guidelines label breakfast as the most important meal of the day. While we admittedly skip it throughout the week, a rocking party the night before propels this meal from important straight to necessary. Pick up your ingredients Friday evening before heading out, and you’ll thank us Saturday morning when you’re Eating In.
