Instructions
- Peel the potatoes and cut them into ½ inch thick pieces.
- Place the cut potatoes in a large pot. Add water to the pot until there is an inch of water above the potatoes. Bring to a boil on high heat. Reduce heat to medium high. Cook until soft 10 – 20 minutes.
- Preheat the oven to 325°F.
- When the potatoes are soft, drain off the water. Add the ghee and ½ tsp salt to the pot. Mash the potatoes until smooth.
- When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, spray 8 muffin cups with non-stick spray. By hand, press 2 Tbsp of mashed potatoes into each muffin cup to form a crust that covers the bottom and comes up the sides about half way.
- Bake for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, coarsely chop the mushrooms and bacon. Set
- Cut the dark green tops off of the green onions. Finely dice the dark green parts. The remaining part can be discarded for this recipe. Set aside.
- In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese and eggs. Stir in the mushrooms, bacon, and green onions.
- Evenly pour the mixture into the prepared muffin cups.
- Bake for 30 minutes.
