Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or use non-stick spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
Gradually add the egg mixture to the mashed potato mixture, stirring until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Sprinkle in the flour and fold into the potato mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but cohesive.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Serve warm as a breakfast dish, side, or snack. Enjoy!
