These little potato gems are so delicious. Guaranteed you’ll love them! Terrific to make as a side dish to beef, chicken, pork or fish. In addition, you can serve them with scrambled eggs for breakfast. I like to keep some on hand in my freezer. Each skinny muffin has 79 calories and 3 grams of fat.
Ingredients
Ingredients for Muffins:
- 3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, shredded and not defrosted, see shopping tips
- ½ cup onions, chopped
- 2 egg whites (¼ cup)
- ¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated, see shopping tips
- 2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance light, melted
- ¾ teaspoon Lawry’s seasoning sat or salt
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- Black pepper, to taste
Ingredients for Topping:
- 6 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Generously coat a muffin tin (regular size, 12 cup tin) with cooking spray. You’ll only use 6 of the cups.
- In a large bowl, add frozen hash browns and break up the lumps. Add all remaining ingredients except the 6 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, for topping. Mix together well.
- Divide and fill 6 muffin cups with potato batter. Top each with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for about 50 minutes until golden brown.
- Let sit 5 minutes. Carefully remove each potato muffin from tin. Loosen around each with a spoon or knife first, then gently lift out.
- These freeze great. This recipe can be easily doubled to make 12 muffins.
Notes
Makes 6 muffins (each serving, 1 muffin)
Shopping Tips
Frozen Hash Brown potatoes are sold in most supermarkets. They contain no fat, just shredded potatoes. I used Ore Ida’s frozen plain shredded hash browns.
One serving (1¼ cups) has 70 calories, 0g fat, 10g carbs, 1g protein, 0.6g fiber, 0g sugar, 12mg sodium Grated Parmesan cheese is the finely grated cheese sold in containers or with shaker/pourer tops. It looks like cheese dust. That said, you can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.
