Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Potatoes (russet or Yukon gold)
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 cup Cooked bacon, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons Green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Peel and grate the potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated potatoes into a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, melted butter, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Grease a 12-cup muffin tin generously with cooking spray. Divide the potato mixture evenly among the cups, pressing the potatoes into the bottom and up the sides to form a cup shape.
Bake the potato cups in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and crispy.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese, crumbled bacon, and chopped green onions evenly into the potato cups.
Return the muffin tin to the oven and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Allow the potato cups to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a butter knife or small spatula.
Serve warm and enjoy!
