You HAVE to try these...there just too easy and delicious!
Here's the original recipe, discovered by a friend's daughter:
Potato Muffins (May 1918):
The Farmer's Wife Harvest Cookbook
4 Tbsp butter
2 Tbsp sugar
1 egg, well-beaten
1 cup mashed potatoes
2 cups flour
3 tsp baking powder
1 cup milk
My adaptation: Makes approximately 12 muffins
1 cup milk
1 egg
1 large leftover baked potato, skin removed
4+ TBS coconut oil
2 TBS cane sugar
2 tsp beef gelatin
2 tsp cream of tartar
2 cups rice flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/4-1/2 tsp sea salt (if using coconut oil or unsalted butter)
Mix everything together in order in a mixer or food processor. I added a few ingredient at a time and mixed a little in between. It will look like cream cheese frosting or vanilla soft serve when it's thoroughly mixed. Grease the muffin tin generously.* Fill each cup about 2/3 full to allow room to rise. Bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. I used my toaster oven. When done, allow to cool slightly and run a knife around the side to pop them out. I ate mine with strawberry jam.
*I used the back of a spoon to slather about a TBS of extra coconut oil in each cup, making sure to get the sides and bottoms.
These could easily be made as drop biscuits by making them free form instead...maybe with just a little tweaking. They scream biscuits and gravy!
You could also place some protein in the center for a to-go meal:
Cheese and an apple slice
Spaghetti sauce with meat and gelatin
Scrambled egg with mushrooms
Jam with gelatin
