Preheat waffle iron and grease with cooking spray

Place shredded potatoes in bowl and pour enough cold water to cover. Leave and soak for 2-3 minutes. Drain and rise to remove starch. Squeeze water out of the potatoes by hand and pat dry.

Toss potatoes with oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Stir egg into potato mixture.
