Savory Sweet Potato Muffins with Bacon

Description

When I lived in New Zealand, there was an abundance of kumara (their version of our sweet potato) and it was used in everything from curries to muffins. I came up with this recipe to fuse those two ideas, but mainly to appeal to my then 2-year-old, a picky eater who loved finger foods. I serve it with fruit for a complete meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 large sweet potato
  • 4 slices bacon
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • ½ small onion, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon mild curry powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded sharp Cheddar cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
