Golden on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside — a savory, hearty snack packed with veggies and love!
Ingredients (Makes 10–12 muffins)
-
3 medium potatoes (about 500–600 g), peeled and grated
-
Salt, to taste
-
1 small onion, finely chopped
-
1–2 tbsp olive oil
-
200 g fresh spinach, chopped
-
2 large eggs
-
1 tsp Italian herbs (or a mix of dried oregano, thyme, and basil)
-
Black pepper, to taste
-
120 g shredded mozzarella cheese
-
2 spring onions, chopped
-
2–3 tbsp breadcrumbs (plus extra for topping, optional)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Potatoes
-
Peel and grate the potatoes. Place them in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much excess moisture as possible.
-
Season lightly with salt and set aside.
2. Sauté the Veggies
-
Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened and translucent (about 3–4 minutes).
-
Add the chopped spinach and cook until wilted (2–3 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
3. Mix the Batter
-
In a large bowl, combine the grated potatoes, sautéed spinach and onion, eggs, Italian herbs, black pepper, mozzarella, spring onions, and breadcrumbs.
-
Mix everything well. If the mixture feels too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
4. Prepare the Muffin Tin
-
Preheat oven to 180°C (356°F).
-
Lightly grease a muffin tin or line with silicone or paper liners.
-
Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups. Press down slightly to compact them. Sprinkle with a pinch of breadcrumbs on top for extra crispness, if desired.
5. Bake
-
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crisp.
-
Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.
❤️ Serve & Enjoy
-
These savory muffins are perfect warm or at room temperature.
-
Serve with sour cream, Greek yogurt, or your favorite dip.
-
Great for lunchboxes, meal prep, or sharing with friends and family!
Tips & Variations
-
Add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
-
Use grated zucchini or carrot with the potatoes for added veggies (squeeze out moisture first).
-
Swap mozzarella for cheddar or feta for a different cheesy twist.
-
Freeze extras and reheat in the oven for a quick snack anytime!
