Ingredients:
- 3 medium white potatoes
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup Greek yogurt
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- ¼ cup chopped green onions
- ½ tablespoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
For Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
- Start by thoroughly washing and peeling the potatoes. Cut them into chunks and drop them into a pot of boiling water. Let them cook until they’re fork-tender.
- Drain the potatoes and roughly chop them. Toss them into a food processor along with the almond milk, Greek yogurt, green onions, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Blend everything until you have a smooth, creamy mixture.
For Mashed Potato Muffins:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Generously spray a muffin tin with cooking spray to ensure the muffins won’t stick.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed potatoes with the egg. Whisk until the egg is fully incorporated.
- Scoop the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cavity to the top. An ice cream scoop works perfectly for this.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown.
- Allow the muffins to cool for 5-10 minutes before removing them from the tin. Running a mini spatula around the edges can help lift them out smoothly.
- Serve warm or store in the fridge for up to a week.
Tips:
- For extra flavor, consider adding a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top before baking.
- These muffins are great for meal prep and can be enjoyed as a quick breakfast, side dish, or snack.
Enjoy this cozy twist on mashed potatoes—perfect for any time of day!
