Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs

Ingredients

  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup milk or heavy cream
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Nonstick cooking spray or butter, for greasing muffin tin

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  2. Mix the batter – In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, and green onions. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. Fill the muffin tin – Spoon the potato mixture evenly into each muffin cup, filling almost to the top.
  4. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
  5. Cool and serve – Let them sit in the tin for 2–3 minutes before removing. Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.
