Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 24 Mini Puffs

Ingredients
  

  • 3 cups chilled mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup chopped chives
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Grease for the muffin pan

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin pan thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cold mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the egg and mix until well-blended.
  • Form and Roll: Shape the potato mixture into small balls. Roll each ball in grated Parmesan cheese, coating well, and then press each ball into the prepared muffin cups.
  • Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges turn golden and crispy.
  • Serve: Allow the puffs to cool slightly before removing from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, golden goodness!

Notes

  • Use Chilled Mashed Potatoes: Cold potatoes hold their shape better, making it easier to form the puffs.
  • Cheese Variety: Try using other cheeses like Gruyère or mozzarella for a unique flavor twist.
  • Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to keep the puffs light and fluffy.
