Ingredients

Scale

Potatoes

  • 2 pounds starchy potatoes, such as Russets

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Eggs

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Butter

  • 4 tablespoons butter

Milk

  • 1/2 cup milk

Seasonings

  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Optional: garlic or onion powder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potatoes: Start by peeling and chopping the potatoes into even chunks. Boil them in salted water until they are tender, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot.
  2. Mash the Potatoes: Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper to the drained potatoes. Use a potato masher or a fork to mash until smooth and creamy. You can adjust the milk for your desired consistency.
  3. Mix in the Cheese and Eggs: Stir in the shredded cheese until melted and well incorporated. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before adding the beaten eggs, mixing thoroughly to combine.
  4. Fill the Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners. Spoon the mashed potato mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake: Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden and slightly crisp on top. Allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

  • Use starchy potatoes like Russets for the creamiest texture.
  • Don’t overmix when adding eggs and cheese to keep the muffins light.
  • Let muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin to prevent breakage.
  • Experiment with different cheeses for a more complex flavor profile.
  • Check for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean when fully baked.
