Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 cup diced ham
- 0.75 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or line with paper muffin cups.
Step 2
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Cook until tender, about 10-15 minutes, then drain well.
Step 3
Mash the cooked sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Allow to cool slightly, about 5 minutes.
Step 4
Add the diced ham, shredded cheddar cheese, flour, baking powder, egg, milk, melted butter, salt, pepper, and parsley to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 5
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the puffs spring back slightly when touched.
Step 7
Remove the pan from the oven and allow the puffs to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 8
Serve warm as an appetizer or side dish. Enjoy!
