Mashed Potato Muffins
A clever twist on leftovers, these savory mashed potato muffins turn extra mash into golden, cheesy bites of comfort. With crisp edges, fluffy centers, and the option of smoky bacon, they make the perfect side dish or snack for any occasion.
Ingredients:
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Mashed potatoes | 4 cups |
| Shredded cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Sour cream | ½ cup |
| Large eggs (lightly beaten) | 2 |
| Chopped green onions | ¼ cup |
| Cooked, crumbled bacon (opt) | ¼ cup (optional) |
| Salt and pepper | To taste |
Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Oven & Pan
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a muffin tin with nonstick spray or lightly butter each cup.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, stir together the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, sour cream, eggs, green onions, and bacon (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Mix until fully combined and smooth.
Step 3: Fill the Muffin Cups
Divide the potato mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each one to the top and smoothing the surface if needed.
Step 4: Bake
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and the muffins have set.
Step 5: Cool and Serve
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes. Use a knife or small spatula to gently loosen and remove them. Serve warm, and enjoy!
