Set the waffle iron to medium-high and allow it to preheat fully for optimal crispiness.

In a large bowl, evenly combine the prepared hash browns, grated cheese, and seasoned salt, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.

Lightly coat both sides of the waffle iron with pan release or oil to prevent sticking.

Place approximately 1 cup (about 150 g) of the hash brown mixture on the preheated waffle iron. Gently spread the mixture, close the lid, and cook until the chaffle is golden brown and crisp—typically 4–6 minutes, or until the steam nearly subsides.

Carefully remove the chaffle from the waffle iron. Serve immediately for maximum crispness, or cool on a wire rack if preparing ahead.
