Ingredients

• 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Mashed potatoes
• 1 cup Onions (finely diced)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Milk
• 4 tablespoons Butter (melted)
• 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese (shredded)
• 2 tablespoons Chives (chopped, optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.

Step 2

In a medium skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until caramelized, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, egg, milk, and melted butter. Mix until smooth and well combined.

Step 5

Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 6

Gently fold in the caramelized onions, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped chives, if using.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. These muffins pair well with soups or can be enjoyed on their own as a savory snack.
