Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs

Ingredients:

2 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Optional Add-Ins:
Crispy Bacon Bits
Chopped Herbs
Paprika or Cayenne Pepper

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Grease a mini muffin tin or standard muffin tin with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
2. Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined. The mixture should be thick and creamy.
3. Fill the Muffin Tin
Scoop the potato mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top. Use a spoon or small ice cream scoop to ensure even portions.
4. Bake to Golden Perfection
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.
For an extra cheesy finish, sprinkle a little more cheddar or Parmesan on top during the last 5 minutes of baking.
5. Cool and Serve
Allow the puffs to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before carefully removing them with a fork or small spatula.
Serve warm for the best texture and flavor.
