Potato waffles are a potato-based savoury dish in a waffle shape. They are common in the United Kingdom and Ireland and are also available in some other countries, including Australia, Canada and United States.

Potato waffles are made of potatoes (typically mashed or grated), oil, and seasonings, though commercial waffles may contain other ingredients such as stabilizers, dextrose, and rice flour. They are sold frozen, and may be baked, grilled, or fried, and are used as a side dish, often together with sausages or bacon, or as a snack food. One of the leading brands is Birds Eye, who introduced the item in 1981.
