Skinny Hash Brown Muffins
From: Nancy Fox @ www.skinnykitchen.com/
These little potato gems are so delicious. Guaranteed you’ll love them! Terrific to make as a side dish to beef, chicken, pork or fish. In addition, you can serve them with scrambled eggs for breakfast. I like to keep some on hand in my freezer. This recipe can be easily doubled to make 12 muffins.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 50 minutes
Makes: 6 muffins
(each serving, 1 muffin)
Ingredients for Muffins:
3 cups frozen hash brown potatoes, shredded and not defrosted, see shopping tips
½ cup onions, chopped
2 egg whites (¼ cup)
¼ cup Parmesan cheese, grated, see shopping tips
2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance light, melted
¾ teaspoon Lawry’s seasoning sat or salt
½ teaspoon garlic powder
Black pepper, to taste
Ingredients for Topping:
6 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Generously coat a muffin tin (regular size, 12 cup tin) with cooking spray.
You’ll only use 6 of the cups.
2. In a large bowl, add frozen hash browns and break up the lumps.
Add all remaining ingredients except the 6 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, for topping.
Mix together well.
3. Divide and fill 6 muffin cups with potato batter.
Top each with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
4. Bake for about 50 minutes until golden brown.
5. Let sit 5 minutes.
Carefully remove each potato muffin from tin.
I like to loosen around each with a spoon or knife first and then gently lift out.
6. These freeze great.
Shopping Tips
Frozen Hash Brown potatoes are sold in most supermarkets. They contain no fat, just shredded potatoes. I used Ore Ida’s frozen plain shredded hash browns.
One serving (1¼ cups) has 70 calories, 0g fat, 10g carbs, 1g protein, 0.6g fiber, 0g sugar, 12mg sodium
Grated Parmesan cheese is the finely grated cheese sold in containers or with shaker/pourer tops. It looks like cheese dust. That said, you can substitute either shredded or grated Parmesan in equal proportions in your favorite recipes.
