I came up with this 5-6 years ago, filed it and forgot it. I was moving stuff from floppys to cds and it was on it. I had for gotten how good they were. Made in mini-muffin tins they are great little appetizers. In regular muffin tins they make a nice side dish. They are great with a dab of sour cream.
Preheat the oven to 400oF. And grease 36 mini-muffin cups.
In a large bowl whisk together the eggs, oil, flour, salt, nutmeg, black pepper and baking powder. Grate the onion on the large holes of a grater and whisk in to the egg mixture along with the minced garlic. Peel and quarter the potatoes and chop finely in a food processor. Add the potatoes to the batter and stir well to combine. Spoon a rounded tablespoon of the potato mixture into each prepared mini-muffin cup. Sprinkle with paprika and bake until golden brown, about 30 minutes.
