Squeeze out any excess moisture from the peeled and grated potatoes and put in a bowl. Pour the melted butter over, sprinkle with the salt and pepper and stir. Scoop a heaping 1/2 cup of the seasoned potatoes into each greased waffle section, then 2 tablespoons Cheddar cheese and little chopped chicken. Top it with another 1/4 cup of potatoes. Close the waffle iron and cook for 15 minutes on the regular setting or until golden and done.

Spoon about 2 tbsp of cream cheese mixture evenly into the center of each, do not spread the cream cheese. Brush all of the exposed pastry with the egg wash, then dust generously with sugar.
