Mashed Potato Cupcakes
Fun, flavorful, and perfect for any occasion
Servings: 12 cupcakes
Ingredients
- 4-5 Nice sized potatoes
- Mozzerella Cheese
- Bacon Bits
- Sour Cream optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Scrub the potatoes clean and pierce them with a fork. This allows steam to escape and prevents them from exploding in the microwave.
- Microwave the potatoes on high for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove the potatoes from the microwave and peel off the skins. If the skins don’t come off easily, return the potatoes to the microwave for another minute or two.
- In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add a few drops of milk, a pat of butter, and a generous handful of shredded mozzarella cheese. Fold in the bacon bits until evenly distributed.
- Line a cupcake tin with cupcake wrappers. Fill each wrapper about 3/4 full with the mashed potato mixture.
- Top each cupcake with an additional sprinkle of mozzarella cheese and some bacon bits.
- Bake the mashed potato cupcakes for 12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream on top.
