St Patrick's Day Muffins (Savoury Potato Muffins) image

I got this from a cupcake calender which has a different recipe for every day of the year. (Thanks Ang!) I made these recently and added a few tweaks. Note that this recipe has boiled chopped potatoes, not mashed and is vegetarian.

Time 35m

Yield 12 muffins, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 medium potatoes (peeled and cut into 1/2 inch cubes)
2 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 pinch salt (be generous as they can be a bit bland otherwise)
1 egg (lightly beaten)
4 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 1/4 cups buttermilk
3 tablespoons fresh chives (or spring onions chopped)
3 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
1/2 cup yellow cheese (grated) (optional)

Steps:

  • Pre-heat the oven to 350F (175C).
  • Grease a 12 cup muffin pan or use paper liners (preferably green or with shamrocks on them).
  • In a small saucepan, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 8 minutes or until just tender.
  • Drain and rinse under cold water and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the flour, salt and baking powder.
  • In a large bowl, beat the egg, oil, buttermilk, chives or spring onion and parsley.
  • Stir the flour mixture into the buttermilk mixture until nearly combined. Gently fold in potatoes. Add the cheese if using, note that you should reduce the added salt if using a salty cheese like parmesan or crumbled feta.
  • Spoon into muffin tins and bake for 20 minutes. You can top these with extra grated cheese, sesame seeds or even some flax seeds.
  • Remove pan from oven and cool for 5 minutes. Then remove muffins and cool on rack.
  • Serve with a glass of Guinness!.

Not a fan. The texture was weird and they didn't taste very good.

I thought these muffins were just okay. They were a bit dry and didn't have much flavor.

These muffins were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time.
