Potato Muffins Recipe
(Makes 12 muffins)
Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly boiled, about 2 medium potatoes)
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp sugar (optional, for a slightly sweet touch)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup milk
- ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted butter
- Optional add-ins: shredded cheese, chopped chives, cooked bacon bits, herbs
Instructions
1. Preheat oven
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease.
2. Mix dry ingredients
- In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pepper, and sugar if using.
3. Mix wet ingredients
- In another bowl, combine mashed potatoes, eggs, milk, and oil (or melted butter). Mix until smooth.
4. Combine
- Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined.
- Fold in any optional add-ins like cheese, chives, or bacon.
5. Fill muffin cups
- Spoon batter into muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
6. Bake
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Cool slightly before serving.
Tips for Perfect Potato Muffins
- Use smooth mashed potatoes for the fluffiest muffins.
- Leftover mashed potatoes work perfectly and save time.
- For extra flavor, add garlic powder, onion powder, or shredded cheese to the batter.
- Serve warm with butter, sour cream, or your favorite spread.
💡 Fun twist: Make loaded potato muffins by adding cheddar, bacon, and green onions—like a portable baked potato in muffin form!
