So ridiculously awesome.  They’re based on potatoes, so feel free to spice and top as you would a baked potato.

Take five or six potatoes, peeled and diced.  Boil until mashable, then mash with a tablespoon or two of butter.  Whip three eggs and stir into the cooled potatoes.  Spoon into greased muffin cups, bake at 350 for 45 minutes, and enjoy.

I added salt and pepper while mashing, and threw some cubed cheddar in before baking.  I topped with bacon, green onions, sour cream, and more cheddar.  I actually think the mashed spuds could have been a bit more delicious with some more spicing, possibly chicken bouillon or broth.  Cream cheese has also been suggested.  In any case, these things are awesome.

For dinner party #5, I whipped up some creme brulee for dessert.  The most difficult part of this process was actually getting up the guts to drop $40 on a blowtorch, and the results, while not perfect, were a great first attempt.  I was pleasantly surprised by how easy everything was and plan on giving it many second tries.
