Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb diced potatoes Yukon gold or red → tender, buttery bite
  • 1 small onion diced
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • Pinch of smoked paprika about ⅛ tsp
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup cottage cheese for creaminess & protein
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped chives
  • Optional: handful of chopped spinach for nutrition and color

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet (for roasting potatoes)
  • Muffin tin or square baking pan
  • Blender or whisk (I prefer blender for smooth texture
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring spoons & cups
  • Spatula​

Method
 

Step 1: Roast the Potatoes
  1. Preheat your oven to 400 °F (200 °C). Toss diced potatoes and onion in olive oil, salt, and smoked paprika. Spread them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Roast for 15 minutes or until fork-tender.
Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture
  1. While the potatoes roast, spray your muffin tin or square pan with oil. In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.
Step 3: Assemble the Bakes
  1. Lower oven temperature to 350 °F (175 °C). Evenly distribute roasted potatoes among muffin slots or pan. Pour blended egg mixture over them. Gently stir each to combine.
Step 4: Bake & Broil
  1. Sprinkle shredded cheddar and chives on top of each portion. Bake at 350 °F for 18–20 minutes, until set. For a golden cheesy top, broil for 1–2 minutes—watch closely.
Step 5: Enjoy
  1. Remove from oven and let cool slightly—about 5 minutes—before serving.

Notes

I like to remind myself that the best part of this recipe is how flexible it is. You can add extra veggies, swap cheeses, or even make a bigger batch for meal prep. Just make sure to let the bakes cool slightly before storing or freezing—they reheat beautifully and taste just as good the next day.
