What Is Samosa?
Samosa is a triangular savory pastry that is traditionally fried in ghee or oil, and contains spiced vegetables or meat. My healthy vegetable samosa is a must-try!
There is no longer a need to roll dough, add filling, or deep fry. These Potato and Peas Samosa Muffins are not only healthier than traditional samosas, but they are also crispy on the outside and fluffy and flavorful on the inside! This is a great way to use leftover boiled or mashed potatoes. For a low-fat samosa, try my Baked Samosa Recipe.
Have you ever tried samosas? These muffins were such a hit, I just had to share them. Little Daevyd ate 4 of them and wanted more. I been inspired to make these since Sunday and I’m finally getting around to making them. I had mashed potato muffins on Sunday when I went to a fun event with some of my friends.

Ingredients: Potato and Peas Samosa Muffins
- Mashed potatoes provide a creamy base, absorbing the rich flavors of the spices while offering a smooth texture.
- Coconut oil adds a hint of tropical sweetness and richness, used for sautéing the aromatics.
- Onion: Minced onion brings a sharp, sweet depth when cooked, which is foundational to the muffins’ savory profile.
- Garlic: Essential for its robust, pungent flavor, garlic deepens the aromatic complexity of the dish.
- Ginger: offers a zesty, warm kick, enhancing the other spices with its peppery notes.
- Curry Powder: This spice blend imparts a warm, earthy flavor, central to the samosa’s characteristic taste.
- Salt: is crucial for highlighting and balancing the savory spices and ingredients.
- Cayenne Pepper: Optional but recommended for adding a spicy edge that can be adjusted to preference.
- Cilantro: provides a fresh, citrusy burst, lifting the rich flavors with a touch of green freshness.
- Green peas contribute sweetness and a pleasant crunch, contrasting nicely with the creamy potatoes and bold spices.
I had mashed potato muffins on Sunday when I went to a fun event with some of my friends. One of these ladies always makes sure there is a gluten-free dish prepared for me, What a precious friend. She brought potato muffins, with a cheesy vegan topping that was so delicious. Needless to say, I decided to make
Needless to say, I decided to make my own version. I went for a spicy samosa flavor without the crust. The result was phenomenal. It was easy for me to make a samosa-flavored muffin because that was my favorite Indian treat before I developed gluten intolerance.
The food on Sunday was wonderful, and the mashed potato muffins were very popular, they not only looked appealing but were so delicious. We had so much fun playing games and exchanging gifts.
How To Make Potato and Peas Samosa Muffins
I used a regular muffin pan but a mini-muffin pan would be ideal. The mini size can be served as appetizers. If you decide to use mini-muffin pans, adjust the baking time to about 15-20 minutes. They are also a wonderful way to use up leftover mashed potatoes!
I used red bliss potatoes that are waxy, so they stick together. Another good one would be the Yukon gold to ensure that the muffins stick together. I didn’t need to add any form of egg replacer but 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed may help.

One of my favorite foods
its one of mines too đŸ˜‹
This lboniooks healthy and tasty
Thats what i have been looking for. Really great
đŸ˜‹
Love this recipe! I’ve made it several times and the entire family enjoyed it. I try to make it when I already have another dish planned for the oven. If that dish is going at a lower temp, I just increase the cooking time for the samosas. I know they’re done when they’re golden brown on the top and sides. I also love that you can make it up ahead of time and press into the muffin tins just before baking.
Can these be frozen and reheated later?
Absolutely! These can be frozen and reheated later for your convenience. Simply store them in an airtight container in the freezer, and when you’re ready to enjoy them, reheat them in the microwave or oven until heated through. This makes meal prep a breeze and allows you to enjoy these delicious treats whenever you like.
LOOKS GREAT I AM TRYING .SENDING TO MY FRIEND
WOW! We had a few tweaks (russet potatoes, ginger paste, coriander, parsley [no cilantro on hand]), and a 1/4 tsp of garam masala), but I’m certain this stands up without the tweaks. We didn’t add liquid to the potatoes. Our goal now is to save some muffins for later!!
These are very good! I have a question, mine were still a little soft. When you say mashed potatoes, are you just boiling the potatoes, draining and mashing? Or are you making mashed potatoes with non dairy milk? I made made potatoes with non dairy milk. I’m wondering if that is what they were soft.
Marianne, once you let it sit for a while it should firm up. All the recipes are vegan on this website.
Yes, I realize your recipes are vegan. I just wondered if you just mashed the potatoes without adding anything to them or did you add some type of nondairy milk. I wondering if I added too much liquid.
Why did you refuse to answer Marianne’s question? She asked if it’s potatoes mashed or mashed potato dish?
I didn’t refuse to reply. I most likely didn’t get a chance to go back & reply to her. I get flooded with so many comments that sometimes I lose a few that I haven’t replied to like hers. I could answer her now but her comment is 1year old so there’s no point. plus, she would have answered her own question if she read the recipe instructions. the recipe never called for mixing mashed potatoes with milk so that’s why they turned out soft for her. she added whole extra step/ingredient to the dish. But I’m happy she said she loved it & that the milk didn’t spoil the dish.
Can you use frozen peas? If so should I just blanch them quickly first?
Yes you can use frozen peas, just rinse them.
Can these be eaten cold at a picnic?
Yes, they can.
