Cheesy Potato Egg Muffins

Ingredients

2 medium potatoes, peeled and grated (about 2 cups)

6 large eggs

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon paprika (optional)

Salt and black pepper, to taste

1/4 cup cooked bacon bits (optional, for extra flavor)

Non-stick cooking spray or muffin liners

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray or line with muffin liners.

Step 2: Prepare the Potato Base

Grate the potatoes and squeeze out excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.

Season the grated potatoes with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder.

Step 3: Whisk the Egg Mixture

In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, green onions, and bacon bits (if using).

Step 4: Assemble the Muffins

Divide the grated potatoes evenly into the prepared muffin cups, pressing them lightly to form a base.

Pour the egg mixture over the potato base, filling each cup about three-quarters full.

Step 5: Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the muffins are set and lightly golden on top.

Step 6: Cool and Serve

Allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes in the tin before removing.

Serve warm, garnished with extra green onions or a dollop of sour cream, if desired.
