I love potatoes. In a big way. Especially fried…or covered in cheese.
But since I’ve been trying to lose weight, I’ve been trying really, really hard to stay away from fried things…and excessive amounts of cheese.
These are delicious and they totally satisfy my potato craving! I can eat 4 bites for 120 calories, which means I can either eat even more of them or have plenty of calories left to come up with something else fun to eat with these. I am so in love with these little guys that fill me up and make me feel like I’m eating more than I actually am.
I liked them plenty plain or topped with a little sour cream. Either way, they were the perfect comfort food for Sunday dinner!

Thanks for this recipe! These are almost like potato pancakes in a muffin tin. Delicious, and hubby likes the use of green onions. I might replace the flour with matzo meal but otherwise I would not change a thing.

Has anyone tried freezing it? Does it hold up well when reheated? Thanks

hard to judge size of potatoes, would you say about two cups?
