The waffles are made from [mashed potatoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-mashed-potatoes) and are topped with a decadent layer of gravy and onions for garnish. Usually most waffles come with [savory toppings and fillings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-chicken-and-waffles-pizza) opting to be more of a sweet breakfast treat. However these [mashed potato and gravy waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/upgraded-gravy-tower) take a new approach to the breakfast meal by creating the popular cake out of potatoes. The mashed potato mixture is scooped directly into a waffle skillet to form the iconic wafer cakes. The maple syrup is then replaced with a rich gravy of your choosing and topped with chives rather than fruit or candied foods. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 25% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Savory Breakfast Cakes:** Creating unconventional breakfast cakes with savory ingredients provides an opportunity for innovation in the breakfast food industry. - **Incorporating Dinner Dishes:** Incorporating popular dinner dishes into breakfast waffles opens up opportunities to disrupt traditional breakfast food offerings. - **Alternative Waffle Toppings:** Exploring alternative toppings like gravy and onions for waffles presents a chance to innovate in the waffle industry. ### Where This Applies - **Breakfast Food:** The breakfast food industry can explore new savory options to create innovative breakfast cakes and attract a wider range of customers. - **Food Blogging:** Food bloggers can experiment with unconventional waffle recipes incorporating dinner dishes to engage and surprise their audience. - **Restaurant and Cafe:** Restaurants and cafes can introduce mashed potato waffles with savory toppings as unique breakfast menu items, offering customers an innovative culinary experience. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Waffle-Made Breakfast Tacos](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mvp-waffle-tacos.md) - [Crispy Cheesy Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheesy-waffle.md) - [Chicken-Topped Macaroni Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cheese-waffle-with-hot-honey-chicken.md) - [Zesty Pickle-Infused Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pickle-waffles.md) - [Savory Bubble Waffle Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/honey-moon-coffee.md) - [Cookie-Stuffed Belgian Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/oreo-cookie-crumble-belgian-waffle.md) - [Savory Egg Croffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/croffle-savory.md) - [All-Day Waffle Bites](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/waffle-bites.md) - [Grab-and-Go Protein Waffles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/superfood-waffle.md)
