Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs

Ingredients:

2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)

1 large egg

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella)

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 tablespoons chopped green onions (optional)

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

2 tablespoons melted butter (for brushing)

Non-stick cooking spray

Instructions:

  1. Preheat Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.

  1. Mix the Batter:

In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, egg, cheddar cheese, Parmesan, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Mix until well combined and smooth.

  1. Fill the Muffin Tin:

Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.

Brush the tops with melted butter for extra crispiness.

  1. Bake:

Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on top.

  1. Cool and Serve:

Let them cool for a few minutes before removing.

Serve warm with sour cream, ranch, or ketchup for dipping.

Tips:

Add crumbled bacon or chopped jalapeños for extra flavor.

For a crispier texture, bake on the lower rack for the last 5 minutes.

These can also be made in an air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for about 10–12 minutes.
