Recipe for potato muffins with hot melted cheese inside. A simple, but very tasty dish that can be served for breakfast, as a snack or light dinner.

Summary

Ingredients

• Potatoes – 400 g
• Hard cheese – 100 g
• Wheat flour – 25 g
• Potato starch – 15 g
• Bread crumbs – 4 tbsp
• Garlic – 1 clove
• Bay leaf – 1 pc.
• Salt to taste
• Vegetable oil (or butter) – 1 teaspoon
• Butter (optional) – 25 g

Instructions

1. Peel the potatoes, wash and cut into cubes. Peel the garlic. Place the potatoes in a saucepan, add the peeled garlic and bay leaf. Pour potatoes over with water, salt and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes, until tender.
2. Remove garlic and bay leaves. Place the potatoes on a sieve and let the broth drain completely. Remember the potato with a crush and strain it through a sieve. Cool mashed potatoes completely.
3. Add the sifted flour.
4. Add starch.

   

5. Knead a soft and elastic dough.
6. Turn on the oven to heat up to 180 degrees.
   Divide the dough into 8 equal pieces and form into balls.
7. Cut the cheese into eight identical pieces.

   

8. Take one ball of dough and make a flat cake out of it. Place one slice of cheese on the flatbread.
9. Form a ball of cheese inside and roll well in breadcrumbs. Do this for all the pieces of dough and cheese.
10. Prepare a muffin baking dish. These muffins definitely need a silicone mold, otherwise you simply won’t be able to extract the whole muffins. Also, note that the meshes should not be very large compared to the muffin balls, otherwise the muffins will be low because the dough spreads during baking. Lubricate the silicone mold with vegetable (or butter) oil and place the balls of dough in the wells.
11. Bake the cheese potato dough muffins in the hot oven for 25 minutes. Do not bake muffins for more than 25 minutes or they will creep and burn underneath.
12. Remove the potato cheese muffins from the oven, remove from the mold, place on a plate and serve immediately.
13. You can pour melted butter over the muffins if desired. Bon Appetit!
