Cheddar, Bacon, and Potato Muffins<\/p>\nCheddar, Bacon, and Potato Muffins<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1\/2 lb. baby gold potatoes<\/p>\n
1\/8 tsp. black pepper<\/p>\n
191 grams (1 1\/2 C.) unbleached all-purpose flour<\/p>\n
1 T. sugar<\/p>\n
1 T. baking powder<\/p>\n
1\/4 tsp. salt<\/p>\n
3\/4 C. sour cream<\/p>\n
1\/2 C. milk<\/p>\n
4 T. salted butter, melted<\/p>\n
1 large egg<\/p>\n
4 slices bacon, cooked, drained, and crumbled, reserving one T. of bacon drippings<\/p>\n
113 grams (4 oz.\/3\/4 C.) diced sharp cheddar cheese<\/p>\n
1\/4 C. chopped chives<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Heat your oven to 400 degrees F and line a 12-cavity muffin pan with paper liners. Prick the potatoes about 4 times each, wrap them in a damp towel, and microwave them about 4 minutes, turning them halfway through. They should be cooked but not super soft. Let cool enough to handle, and grate them with a box grater. Toss the grated potatoes with the black pepper. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a medium bowl, whisk together the sour cream, milk, melted butter, egg, and T. of bacon drippings. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix with a rubber spatula until just combined. Fold in the potatoes, bacon, cheddar, and chives. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, about an ice cream scoop-sized portion each. Bake the muffins for 22 to 25 minutes, until golden. A toothpick should come out clean. Cool in the muffin pan for five minutes, and then turn them out onto a wire rack to fully cool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
