High-Protein Potato Buns

Ingredients:

1 pound potato (about 12–15 ounces is fine)

Spritz of olive oil

1 cup oats, blended into flour

4 extra-large eggs

5.3 ounces Fage 0% Greek yogurt

1 teaspoon baking powder

Dash of salt

1 egg yolk

Dash of Everything Bagel seasoning

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Wash and dry the potato. Lightly rub with a small amount of olive oil.

Pierce the potato several times with a knife, wrap in foil, and bake for 1½–2 hours, or until fork tender.

Allow the potato to cool until comfortable to handle. Remove the skin and place the potato in a large mixing bowl.

Mash the potato thoroughly using a potato masher.

Add the eggs, Greek yogurt, oat flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix until well combined.

Line a baking sheet with a Silpat or parchment paper.

Scoop six ½-cup portions onto the baking sheet, shaping into circles.

Brush the tops with egg yolk and sprinkle with Everything Bagel seasoning.

Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Allow to cool slightly before slicing.
