• Fork
• Pastry brush
• Oven

Ingredients

• Mashed potatoes (plain with butter or add-ins)
• Add-ins (optional): cooked bacon, cheese, parsley, green onion, garlic
• Melted butter or olive oil for brushing

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare mashed potatoes: You can keep them plain with butter or mix in cooked bacon, cheese, parsley, green onion, or garlic for extra flavor.
3. Grease your muffin tin generously to prevent sticking.
4. Spoon the mashed potato mixture into each muffin cup, filling them to the top.
5. Run a fork along the top of each muffin to create a textured surface, which will help it crisp up.
6. Brush the tops with melted butter or olive oil.
7. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are crispy and golden brown.
8. Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.

Tips for Success

• Ensure your mashed potatoes are not too runny; a thicker consistency helps them hold shape better.
• If using add-ins, chop them finely to distribute evenly through the potatoes.
• Grease the muffin tin well to ensure easy removal of the potato muffins.

Additional Tips or Variations

Experiment with different herbs and spices to suit your taste. For a cheesy twist, sprinkle some grated Parmesan on top before baking. Using mini muffin tins can turn these into bite-sized snacks, perfect for parties.
