  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed

  • 1 large potato, peeled and grated (or 2 cups thawed hash browns)

  • 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup all-purpose flour

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (optional)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

  • Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or use silicone liners.

  • If using fresh potato, squeeze out excess moisture using a clean towel.

  • In a large bowl, mix corn, grated potato or hash browns, shredded cheddar, and chives.

  • In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, flour, baking powder, salt, and black pepper.

  • Pour the egg mixture into the corn mixture and stir until fully combined.

  • Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, pressing gently to compact.

  • Bake for 25–28 minutes or until tops are golden and edges crispy.

  • Allow to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before removing.

  • Serve warm, refrigerate, or freeze for later use.

Notes

  • For extra crispness, press the mixture firmly into the muffin tin.

  • You can substitute grated zucchini (squeezed dry) for part of the potato.

  • Add diced bell peppers or herbs for extra flavor.
