- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Olive oil for greasing
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a muffin tin with olive oil or use muffin liners for easier removal.

- Pour the egg mixture into the vegetable mixture and stir until well combined.
- Fill the Muffin Tin:
- Spoon the potato and vegetable mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Press the mixture down lightly to compact it.
- Bake the Muffins:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and set in the center.
- A toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin should come out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
