Irish Cheddar, Bacon and Potato Muffins image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 large Yukon Gold potato (about 8 ounces)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 slices bacon, chopped
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 large egg
3/4 cup diced Irish cheddar cheese (about 4 ounces)
1/4 cup chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners. Prick the potato all over with a fork. Wrap in a damp paper towel and microwave until just cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, turning the potato after 2 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and grate the potato on the large holes of a box grater. Season with 2 pinches each salt and pepper and gently toss.
  • Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a paper towel-lined plate. Reserve 1 tablespoon bacon drippings.
  • Whisk the flour, sugar, baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Whisk the buttermilk, melted butter, egg and reserved 1 tablespoon bacon drippings in a medium bowl; pour into the well in the flour mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in the grated potato, bacon, cheese and chives.
  • Divide the batter among the muffin cups, filling them all the way to the top. Bake until the muffins are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 22 to 25 minutes. Let the muffins cool 5 minutes in the pan, then remove to a rack to cool completely.

SAVORY SWEET POTATO MUFFINS WITH BACON



Savory Sweet Potato Muffins with Bacon image

When I lived in New Zealand, there was an abundance of kumara (their version of our sweet potato) and it was used in everything from curries to muffins. I came up with this recipe to fuse those two ideas, but mainly to appeal to my then 2-year-old, a picky eater who loved finger foods. I serve it with fruit for a complete meal.
