Shareably.net had an article that has since disappeared titled “Slice potatoes and put them in a muffin pan. They’ll come out of the oven family favorite!” Since the link that no longer works has the word “Parmesan” I’m guessing adding that cheese and perhaps a bit of butter or olive oil should be added the list below. There’s a second article at the bottom that has one of the most widely spread recipes I’ve seen in a while.
Lasagna cups, mini meatloaves and other clever ways to use your muffin pan
Tuna Spinach Tortas. Count this recipe as a very good reason to keep a few cans of tuna in your pantry — along with frozen spinach, panko bread crumbs and a hunk of Parmigiano-Reggiano. The recipe calls for a jumbo-muffin pan, but you could make it in a regular one (reduce the baking time a bit, following the visual cue noted in the recipe).
Meatloaf Muffins. Kind of like a mash-up between meatloaf and meatballs, these little bites bake up in about 20 minutes. The seasoning is fairly light, so we recommend serving them with plenty of condiments (ketchup mixed with hot sauce, for example). You could also take a cue from these Quince-Glazed Meatloaves (also baked in a muffin pan!) and whip up a little glaze to brush over top of the meat muffins shortly before they come out of the oven.
Slow-Rise, No-Knead Soft White (or Soft Light Wheat) Rolls. These rolls need no special equipment, but they do require some planning. After you mix together the dough, it sits at room temperature for 12 to 18 hours (to develop flavor and the gluten, thus avoiding the need to knead). Next, you’ll get a little arm workout as you vigorously stir a mixture of melted butter, sugar, powdered milk and egg into the dough until it seems rubbery (yes, rubbery!). Then plop the dough into your muffin tins (either regular or jumbo) and let it rest for a short spell before baking up rolls that are light and rich.
Individual Fruit Cobblers. What’s better than fruit cobbler? Little fruit cobblers that you don’t have to share with anyone! A simple batter fills the wells of a muffin pan, gets topped with fresh fruit and bakes until the batter rises to the top and is barely golden. Try it with blueberries, blackberries, raspberries or chopped peaches.

This recipe, with exactly this title, is reproduced on many websites, none of them crediting an original source despite using precisely the same words. [I thought I’d saved a version from shareably.net, but the link no longer works.] Anything this viral is bound to be worth trying.
