Notes
When using a salty cheese be aware of using more salt. If you are using a metal muffin tin use unbleached liners. Or I love my pampered chef stoneware muffin dish and I just oil the sides and they bake beautifully. If you can't find white miso you can use red or any other it just may change the color. The yellow, butter and russet potatoes work best for this recipe. However, I used white sweet potatoes {dense/fibrous} and the sweet under tones of flavor were complimenting to the cheese. For the *dairy free version using the Ghee helps give the potatoes a buttery flavor. Ghee is is free of casein and other milk solids. Ghee is great for high temperatures because the fatty acids are stable compared to most oils and butter. Oh and if you are following the whole 30 diet, get excited because ghee is approved!
