This is a great way to use up a small quantity of mashed potatoes but I'm sure it can be doubled or tripled for a larger quantity with no problems. I love these muffins with soup for lunch. Originally published in Canadian Living magazine.

Time 40m

Yield 24 muffins, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups sucanat (organic) or 2 cups light brown sugar
4 large eggs (organic)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (organic)
1 cup applesauce (organic)
1 1/2 cups sweet potato puree (organic)
3 cups flour (organic)
1/4 cup ground flax seeds (organic)
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon (organic)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (organic)
4 ounces cream cheese, softened (organic)
cinnamon sugar (optional)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 350°F In the meantime, cream butter and sugar with an electric mixer. Sucanat is grainier than sugar and won't cream the same way-it'll work fine so long as the sucanat and butter are well mixed.
Add eggs, vanilla, applesauce and sweet potato to butter-sugar combo and mix well on low speed.
Combine all dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Slowly add to the wet ingredients while continuing to mix on low speed.
Fill each well of a greased, 1-ounce mini muffin tray half way. Add a ¼ tsp dollop of cream cheese on top of batter. Finish filling each well to the rim. Sprinkle each muffin with cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 18-20 minutes. Muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (except for some cream cheese filling)! Sprinkle some more cinnamon sugar on top. Allow muffins to cool in tray for about 5 minutes. Finish cooling on a baking rack.

Tips:

Choose the right potatoes: Russet potatoes are the best choice for these muffins because they are starchy and hold their shape well. You can also use Yukon Gold or all-purpose potatoes, but they may not be as fluffy.
Shred the potatoes finely: This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming too chunky. You can use a food processor or a box grater to shred the potatoes.
Squeeze out the excess moisture from the potatoes: This will help to prevent the muffins from becoming too soggy. You can use a paper towel or a cheesecloth to squeeze out the excess moisture.
Use a good quality cheddar cheese: The cheese is one of the main ingredients in these muffins, so it's important to use a good quality cheese that you enjoy. Sharp cheddar or extra sharp cheddar are both good choices.
Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Just mix until the ingredients are combined.
Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help them to rise and become fluffy. Bake the muffins at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Conclusion:

Potato cheese muffins are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from a casual brunch to a potluck dinner. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your potato cheese muffins turn out perfect every time. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give these potato cheese muffins a try!
