- Salt & black pepper
- Oil or butter for greasing
👩🍳 Instructions
🥔 1. Prepare the Potatoes
Peel and grate the potatoes using a grater.

- Flour
- Green onions
- Salt & pepper
Mix everything well until fully combined.
➡️ The mixture should hold together when pressed with a spoon.
🧁 3. Fill the Muffin Tray
Grease a muffin tray lightly with oil or butter.
Scoop the potato mixture into each muffin cup and press gently.
➡️ Fill each cup almost to the top.
🔥 4. Bake
Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
Bake for 30–35 minutes until the tops become golden brown and crispy.
➡️ The edges should look crispy and cheesy.
✨ 5. Serve
Let them cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tray.
Serve warm with sour cream, garlic sauce, or ketchup 😋
