The Best Potato Cheddar Chive Bake Recipe

I tried the new potato cheddar and chive bakes from the new menu at Starbucks, and I'm obsessed. They first went viral on TikTok, and I went to get them four days in a row, they're that good. Then I finally decided that I needed to try making a copycat recipe.

Starbucks Potato Cheddar and Chive Bakes Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to make these tasty potato cheddar egg bakes:

• 1 lb Yukon gold or red potatoes
• 1 small onion, diced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• ½ teaspoon kosher salt
• ⅛ teaspoon smoked paprika
• 4 large eggs
• 1 cup cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoon finely diced chives

How to Make Starbucks Potato Chive Bakes

Step 1: Roast the Potatoes

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the diced potatoes and onions evenly on the sheet, drizzle with olive oil, and season with salt and smoked paprika.

Toss everything to coat well, then roast for about 15 minutes until the potatoes are tender.

Step 2: Prepare the Egg Mixture

While the potatoes are roasting, prepare a 12-slot muffin pan by spraying it with oil.

In a blender, combine eggs, cottage cheese, onion powder, and a pinch of salt. Blend until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble the Muffin Bakes

Once the potatoes are done, reduce the oven temperature to 350°F (175°C). Divide the roasted potatoes evenly among the muffin slots.

Pour the egg mixture over the potatoes and gently stir each slot to combine.

Step 4: Top with Cheese & Bake

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese and diced chives on top of each muffin slot.

Bake at 350°F for 18-20 minutes until set. For a golden finish, broil for 1-2 minutes, watching closely to avoid burning.

Step 5: Serve and Enjoy

Let the potato chive bakes cool slightly before removing them from the pan.

Serve warm, or store in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go breakfast throughout the week.

My Expert Tips for Perfect Potato Chive Bakes

• Blend the egg mixture: Blending the eggs and cottage cheese creates a super smooth texture that’s fluffy and light. If you don't have a blender, you can use a whisk, but make sure you whisk until super smooth.
• Best potatoes to use: Yukon gold potatoes work best for their buttery flavor, but red potatoes also work well if you prefer a slightly firmer texture.
• Ingredient addition suggestions: If you want to make these egg bites even heartier, add in some cooked sausage, diced ham, or crispy bacon.
• Make them for meal prep: These egg bakes store well in the fridge for up to 4 days. So I suggest making a double or triple batch! Then simply reheat in the microwave or a toaster oven for a quick breakfast.
