Submitted by CoffeeB

"O.K...everyone knows about my obsessions for muffins. This may be going a bit overboard, but hey it's muffin shaped. (I have changed the wording on the egg amount and adjusted accordingly.) Also, please note the previous reviewers difficulties in removing the muffins from the baking cups."

Pretty good. I guesstimated on the pound of potatoes. Next time would just season them like we normally would and then add the sour cream/ricotta. I probably could've baked a little longer but rest of the supper was ready, so took them out a little early. I had no problem getting them out, but they did fall apart a little. I added some shredded cheese on top and mixed in some sauteed onion and garlic since I didn't have any green onion.

We made these for our Thanksgiving dinner. We all loved the fluffy potatoes - the flavor was outstanding. I had some trouble getting them out of the muffin tins. They didn't stick so much as fall apart because they were so fluffy and light. Cleanup was easy so I will definitely give them another try.

Oh yummy! I so wish my camera hadn't broken, I would love to have posted a photo of these little gems! The last 10 minutes of baking I sprinkled shredded cheddar cheese and crispy bacon bits on top of each muffin. They were like little twice baked potatoes without the skins! Delicious! I had no probem removing them from the muffin tins using Kitten's Recipe #78579 Thank you Sue! I will make these again for sure! Made for KK's Recipe Tag

Actually, these were a snack for bowl games today, and were enjoyed . I left out the onions, and I actually got 8 out of them. No leftovers here. I added a little bacon bits to these too. Plan on making again. Made for Zaar Stars.

Easier than I thought they might be! Since I had read the reviews I very zealously sprayed my baking pan and had no problem turning out the muffins, I was careful to allow them to cool a little first which I think is quite crucial. Soft fluffy creamy potatoes in an attractive presentation, DH really loved these! (He likes potatoes more than I do, so very much appreciates it when I make them!) I stuck to recipe, not using the green onions (didn't have any), and served them with meatballs and onion gravy, yum yum yum! I'd enjoy experimenting with extra cheese and adding the onions next time (can never have too many onions!) Thank you, CoffeeB! Made for Please Review My Recipe tag game
