Potato, parmesan & kale waffles w/ slow roasted tomatoes

Don't save waffles for breakfast! These tasty crunchy delights have the goodness of garden greens, protein from free range eggs and make a fabulous, easy dinner. I got a waffle maker for xmas (requested one!) and our household has been a little obsessed with crafting all our favourite flavours into waffle form. 

Tomatoes roasted low and slow have a wonderful sweetness and partner perfectly in this meal.
