Potatoes, rosemary & cheddar, typically the makings of an appetizer or side dish, are used here to create a savory St. Patrick’s Day cupcake. The mashed potatoes add moisture & the rosemary packs the cupcakes with flavor. Cheddar makes an appearance in the frosting to tie the whole package together. Serve the cupcakes as a stand-alone snack or as a unique, surprising dessert.
