Now you can enjoy the flavor of classic samosa as muffins in a jiffy. All you have to do is make the filling, spoon in muffin pans and bake them in the oven (that’s it!).
No more need to be rolling dough, adding filling or deep frying. These muffins are not only healthier, they are crispy on the outside and fluffy and flavorful on the inside! This is a great way to use leftover boiled or mashed potatoes.
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 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 were 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.
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 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 muffin stick together. I didn’t need to add any form of egg replacer but 1 tablespoon of ground flaxseed may help.
