Ingredients

  • 2 cups cooked mashed sweet potatoes (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (omit or sub nutritional yeast for dairy free option)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh rosemary chopped
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon diced (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • Sour cream or plain greek yogurt for serving optional

Instructions

  • If you haven’t mashed sweet potatoes yet, add cubed sweet potatoes to a large stock pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes or until fork tender. Drain and mash with a masher, fork or food processor.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F and arrange a rack in the middle of oven. Lightly spray a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the mashed sweet potatoes, eggs, ¾ cup grated parmesan cheese, rosemary, bacon, salt and pepper.
  • Fill each muffin cup all the way full with the mashed sweet potatoes mixture. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup parmesan cheese.
  • Bake until the potato cups are set and browned on top, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes in the pan, then use a spoon or knife to gently release them from the pan. Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream or plain greek yogurt, if desired.
