Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • Classic frozen potato gems (about 2 cups or 200g)
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (about 100g)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped spring onions
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional herbs: 1 tablespoon chopped parsley or chives
  • Cooking spray or oil, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Potato Gems: Cook the frozen potato gems according to the package instructions until they are crispy on the outside but soft on the inside. Allow them to cool slightly before using.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and season with salt and pepper. Stir in the grated cheddar cheese, chopped spring onions, and any optional herbs or extras you prefer. Gently fold in the cooled potato gems carefully to avoid mashing them, preserving their texture.
  3. Fill the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a medium-sized muffin tin with cooking spray or oil. Spoon the potato and egg mixture evenly into each muffin cup, pressing down lightly to help them hold together during baking.
  4. Bake Until Golden: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Bake the muffins for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes to firm up. Carefully remove them and serve warm for the best crispy outside and soft inside experience.

Notes

  • Don’t overmix to keep the potato gems intact for the best texture.
  • Use medium-sized muffin tins to ensure even cooking and ideal shape.
  • Let the muffins cool slightly before removing from the tin for easier handling.
  • Experiment with different cheeses to change flavor profiles.
  • A pinch of nutmeg complements the potatoes with subtle warmth.
