    Stir together flour, baking powder, soda, and salt. Add to potato mixture. Stir to incorporate. When almost incorporated, add fresh cranberries. Stir just until blended. Batter will be thick. Spoon mixture into prepared muffin cups. Muffin cups will be nearly full.

    Combine remaining sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle over tops of muffins. Sprinkle with potato chips. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until golden brown and wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean. Makes 12 muffins.
