Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Preheat & Prep
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) . Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone muffin liners for easy removal.
Step 2: Prepare the Zucchini and Potato
Grate the zucchini and potato using a box grater. Place them in a clean kitchen towel or cheesecloth and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. Excess moisture can make the muffins soggy.
