  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a large 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Mix potatoes, melted butter, salt, and pepper together in a large bowl.
  • Divide potato mixture among muffin cups. Press to create a thin crust over the bottom and up the sides of each cup.

  • Toss prosciutto with maple syrup and pepper in a small bowl. Spread out on a small baking sheet lined with aluminum foil.
