Mashed Potato Muffins

Ingredients

Mashed potatoes – 4 cups (leftover or freshly prepared)

Cheddar cheese – 1 cup, shredded

Sour cream – ½ cup

Eggs – 2 large, lightly beaten

Green onions – ¼ cup, finely chopped

Bacon – ¼ cup, cooked and crumbled (optional)

Salt and black pepper – to taste

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a standard muffin tin generously with cooking spray or lightly butter each cup to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Mix the Batter

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, sour cream, eggs, green onions, and bacon (if using). Season with salt and pepper. Stir until everything is evenly incorporated into a thick, creamy mixture.

Step 3: Fill the Muffin Cups

Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup all the way to the top for best results.

Step 4: Bake

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown on top and firm to the touch.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

Remove from the oven and allow the muffins to rest in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully loosen each muffin with a small spatula or knife before transferring to a plate. Serve warm and enjoy!
