Ingredients

• 400 grams Potatoes
• 50 grams Butter
• 2 large Eggs
• 120 milliliters Milk
• 100 grams Cheddar cheese
• 150 grams All-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Chives
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with olive oil or line it with paper muffin liners.

Step 2

Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water for 10-15 minutes, or until fork-tender.

Step 3

Drain the cooked potatoes and mash them with the butter until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 4

In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until combined. Stir in the mashed potatoes until well incorporated.

Step 5

Grate the cheddar cheese and finely chop the chives. Set a small handful of cheese aside for topping and add the rest to the potato mixture along with the chives. Mix gently.

Step 6

In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 7

Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be thick.

Step 8

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Sprinkle the reserved cheddar cheese on top of each muffin.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Step 10

Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool further. Serve warm or at room temperature.
