Potato, Bacon, and Cheese Muffins

Ingredients :

  • Potatoes: 2 medium (about 400 g), boiled and mashed
  • Bacon: 6 slices, cooked and crumbled
  • Cheddar Cheese: 1 cup (100 g), shredded
  • All-Purpose Flour: 1 cup (125 g)
  • Baking Powder: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: ½ teaspoon
  • Black Pepper: ½ teaspoon
  • Eggs: 2 large
  • Milk: ½ cup (120 ml)
  • Butter: ¼ cup (60 g), melted
  • Green Onions: 2 tablespoons, finely chopped (optional)

Instructions :

  1. Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, crumbled bacon, shredded cheese, and green onions (if using).
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.
  4. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and melted butter until well blended.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the potato mixture and stir until just combined.
  6. Slowly pour in the wet ingredients and mix gently until the batter is well incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  8. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
