Ingredients

• 2 cups mashed potatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup green onions, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with butter or use non-stick spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, and chopped green onions. Mix well.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.

Step 4

Gradually add the egg mixture to the mashed potato mixture, stirring until the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 5

Sprinkle in the flour and fold into the potato mixture, being careful not to overmix. The batter should be thick but cohesive.

Step 6

Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the mixture evenly between the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the muffins are golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.

Step 9

Serve warm as a breakfast dish, side, or snack. Enjoy!
