Potato, bacon & herb muffins offer a delightful combination of savory flavors and satisfying textures. Perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a snack, these muffins are easy to make and packed with the goodness of cheddar cheese, fresh herbs, and the rich taste of bacon. Let’s dive into this simple yet delicious recipe!

Ingredients:

1/3 cup olive oil
80g
3 bacon strips
72g
3 potatoes
600g
1.50 cups all-purpose white wheat flour
190g
2 tbsp baking powder
30g
1 cup cheddar cheese
100g
1/2 cup chives
20g
1/2 bunch fresh parsley
27g
2 eggs
100g
1/2 cup milk (1% fat)
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well with a nonstick spray.
2. Cook the Bacon: In a frying pan, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy. Once cooked, place the bacon on a paper towel to drain excess fat. Then, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
3. Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and grate the potatoes. Place the grated potatoes in a kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible.
4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and baking powder.
5. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the olive oil, eggs, and milk until well combined.
6. Assemble the Batter: Add the grated potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, chopped parsley, and crumbled bacon to the dry ingredient mixture. Stir well to evenly distribute all ingredients.
7. Combine Wet and Dry Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix to ensure the muffins remain light and fluffy.
8. Fill Muffin Tins: Evenly distribute the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
9. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
10. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

- Ensure to cook the bacon until crispy for a more intense flavor and crunch.

- Grate the potatoes finely to ensure they incorporate well into the muffin batter and cook evenly.

- Use fresh herbs for a vibrant taste, but if unavailable, dried herbs can be used in smaller quantities.

- Do not overmix the batter; mix just until the dry ingredients are moistened to keep the muffins light and fluffy.

- For a twist, you can add other ingredients like diced bell peppers, onions, or even a hint of garlic.

By following these simple steps, you can create delicious Potato, bacon & herb muffins that are sure to impress. Whether you're serving them at a gathering or enjoying them alone, these muffins are a versatile and tasty addition to any meal. Enjoy them warm straight from the oven for the best experience!
