Hello there, all you potato lovers! I'm here today to share with you a delicious recipe for twice-baked mini potato gratin muffins. These muffins are the perfect way to use up leftover potatoes, and they're so good that you'll want to bake or boil up some potatoes specially just to make them! They're also great for freezing and easy to reheat, so they're a perfect make-ahead meal. Plus, they're so versatile that you can serve them with all types of daubes, casseroles, stews, roast dinners, or even as a light lunch with a crisp green salad and crusty French bread.
To make these muffins, you'll need just a few simple ingredients: potatoes, garlic, salt and pepper, creme fraiche or sour cream, cheese, butter, and nutmeg. First, you'll slice the potatoes thinly and arrange them in muffin tins. Then, you'll season them with garlic, salt and pepper, and creme fraiche or sour cream. Finally, you'll top them with cheese, butter, and nutmeg, and bake them in the oven until golden brown. That's it! These muffins are so easy to make, and they're so delicious that you'll be making them again and again.
Step-by-step
- Using 1 ounce of the butter, grease the muffin or Yorkshire pudding tins well. You can line the base with greaseproof baking paper for ease of removal if you wish.
- Arrange the potatoes in the tin/s holes in layers - seasoning every other layer or so with the crushed garlic, salt & pepper.
- Carry on until all the potatoes are used up.
- Stir the creme fraiche with a wooden spoon to thin it down a bit - and then place a spoon on top of each mini potato gratin.
- Sprinkle some grated cheese on top and then top each gratin with flecks of the remaining butter.
- Grate some nutmeg on top and bake in the oven for about 30 to 45 minutes; it depends on which tin you are using - a muffin tin will take less time to bake than a Yorkshire Pudding tin as the holes are smaller!
- Serve with all types of daubes, casseroles, stews, roast dinners OR as a light lunch with crisp green salad & crusty French bread!
