Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup thawed potato gems
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup grated cheese (cheddar or your favorite variety)
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon or ham, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions or chives
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Non-stick spray or butter, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F) and grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter. Ensure your potato gems are thawed if frozen, bacon cooked and chopped, and cheese grated or crumbled.
  2. Mix the wet ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, a pinch of salt, and pepper until evenly combined and slightly frothy to create the binding base for the muffins.
  3. Combine the dry ingredients: In a separate large bowl, gently toss the thawed potato gems with the chopped bacon or ham, cheese, and spring onions or chives to distribute evenly.
  4. Incorporate everything: Pour the egg mixture into the potato gem mixture and stir carefully until all ingredients are coated and the mixture starts to stick together.
  5. Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the combined mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, pressing gently into each cup so the muffins hold their shape and bake evenly.
  6. Bake until golden and set: Place the tin in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops turn golden brown and the muffins are firm to the touch.

Notes

  • Use thawed potato gems to help them bind better and prevent sogginess.
  • Don’t overmix the ingredients to keep muffins light and retain some texture.
  • Grease your muffin tin well to ensure easy removal and crispy edges.
  • Allow muffins to cool for 5 minutes in the tin for easier removal.
  • Optional: Sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking for a cheesy crust.
