Ingredients
Scale
Muffin Batter
- 5 large eggs
- 2 medium yellow russet potatoes, peeled and finely diced into 1-cm cubes (or Yukon Gold potatoes)
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil)
For Greasing
- 2 tsp vegetable oil (or any neutral oil for greasing the muffin pan)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit to get it ready for baking the muffins.
- Grease Muffin Tray: Evenly grease a 12-tin muffin tray with 2 tsp of vegetable oil using a clean paper towel, or prepare 12 silicone muffin molds placed evenly on a large baking tray.
- Prepare Batter: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, diced potatoes, chopped chives, salt, pepper, and 1 tbsp vegetable oil. Mix well using a fork until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Fill Muffin Molds: Scoop about 1/4 cup (60 ml) of the batter into each muffin mold, filling them evenly.
- Bake: Place the muffin tray on the middle rack and bake for 22-25 minutes or until the muffins turn fluffy and golden brown on top.
- Remove Muffins: To remove each muffin, run a knife carefully around the edges, then gently pop them out of the molds. Serve the muffins hot with ketchup or mayo as desired.
Notes
- You can substitute Yukon Gold potatoes if russets are not available.
- For a crisper edge, use silicone molds on a baking tray for easier removal.
- Make sure the potatoes are diced uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- These muffins can be stored in the refrigerator and reheated in the oven or microwave.
- Feel free to add herbs like parsley or spices like paprika for extra flavor.
