For maximum flavor, use homemade mashed potatoes or reconstitute dried potato flakes. Avoid commercial refrigerated mashed potatoes.
Mix in crispy cooked bacon or ham for a hearty savory twist.

Make ahead and refrigerate unbaked muffins overnight for easy next-day baking.
Reheat leftovers in 30 second intervals until warmed through. Don’t over-microwave or they’ll get rubbery.
