2: Put into a mixing bowl: 70 g instant mashed-potato powder, 1 sachet baking powder *, salt and pepper. *Translator's note: French recipes often specify baking powder by the sachet: 1 sachet (10 g) = 2 level teaspoonsful, but because it is stronger, this is equivalent to 4 teaspoonsful of British baking powder!
4: Mix well then leave to rest for 10 minutes to allow the dried potato to absorb the milk. You should have a mixture that looks rather like mashed potato. Add a little more milk if it seems too dry.
5: Cut 80 g smoked salmon into ribbons...
6: ...and mix into the waffle mixture.
7: Heat your waffle maker or iron and make your waffles one or two at a time (depending on the size of your waffle maker).
8: Serve the waffles piping hot, topped with a generous spoonful of really cold herb sauce.
Remarks
This basic waffle recipe can be varied easily. You can replace the salmon with all manner of other things: ribbons of ham, diced cheese, the herbs of your choice, etc.
