Season with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika. Mix well.
Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup to the top. Press down lightly.

Notes
Squeeze out as much moisture as possible from the zucchini and potatoes to prevent sogginess. Add grated carrots or bell peppers for variety. Broil for a few minutes after baking for extra crispiness.
