These baked mashed potato muffins are the ultimate comfort food: creamy seasoned mash baked around a tender Brussels sprout center, ready in about an hour. Easy, savory, and perfect as a side or snack.
Peel and chop the potatoes. Boil in water until fully cooked through.
Drain and mash.
Add the milk and butter. Season with salt and pepper.
Heat up the olive oil in a pan over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic, and cook until translucent.
Transfer the mixture to the mashed potatoes. Add the sour cream, flour, green onion, and cheese. Mix to combine.
Brush the liners with oil. Fill half of them with the mashed potato mixture.
Put 1 Brussels sprout in the middle, then top up with more mash.
Bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 20-25 minutes.
A few minutes before they're done, add a bit more shredded cheese on top.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven to keep them crisp on the outside. This recipe makes about 16 muffins, one Brussels sprout per muffin.
