Prepare the potatoes: Pierce each unpeeled potato several times with a knife. Place the potatoes in a large pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 20-25 minutes.

Cook the chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken strips and pan-fry, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes. Reduce heat to low, sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the cooked chicken, and cover the skillet. Let cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and gooey.

Make the potato waffles: Once the potatoes are tender, carefully remove them from the hot water and set aside. Preheat your waffle maker. Once hot, place small pieces of softened butter on the waffle grids. Take two of the whole, boiled potatoes and place them directly onto the buttered waffle maker. Close the lid firmly to press and cook the potatoes into a waffle shape. Cook for 5-8 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.

Assemble and serve: Carefully remove the freshly made potato waffles from the waffle maker and place them on a serving plate. Spoon a generous portion of the cheesy pan-fried chicken mixture directly on top of each potato waffle. Repeat with the remaining potatoes to make more waffles. Serve immediately.
