Instructions

Boil the potato (Boil)
Place the whole potato with the skin on in a pot of water and boil until just fork tender. Drain and let it cool slightly so it is comfortable to handle.
Prepare the waffle iron (Preheat)
Preheat the waffle iron until very hot so the cheese will melt and crisp properly.
Layer potato and cheese (Layer)
Sprinkle a layer of grated vegan cheese directly on the bottom plate of the waffle iron, place the boiled potato on top, then cover the potato with another layer of grated vegan cheese.
Press and cook (Crisp)
Close the waffle iron firmly so the potato is pressed flat. Cook until the cheese is fully melted and the outside is deeply golden and crispy, usually about ten to twelve minutes depending on your waffle iron. Avoid opening the waffle iron early so the cheese can crisp and release cleanly.
Assemble the toppings (Top)
Carefully remove the crispy potato waffle and transfer it to a plate. Spread a generous layer of vegan cream cheese over the top, then add the tomato slices and avocado. Finish with chili crisp and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Serve immediately.
