Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat and prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, milk, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the mixture is smooth and all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Fill muffin cups: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top for nice, full muffins.
- Bake: Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffin tops turn golden brown and are set in the center.
- Cool and serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then carefully remove and serve warm or at room temperature.
Notes
- You can substitute sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for the milk to add a creamier texture.
- These muffins can be made ahead of time and reheated, making them a great option for quick breakfasts or side dishes.
- Feel free to add cooked bacon or diced ham for a non-vegetarian option or extra flavor.
