Scale
Mashed Potato Puffs:
- 3 cups mashed potatoes (chilled)
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup chives (chopped)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the muffin pan)
Instructions
- Prep the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Generously grease a mini muffin pan with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the chilled mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Add the egg and mix thoroughly.
- Form the Puffs: Shape the potato mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in grated Parmesan cheese and place in the greased muffin pan cups, pressing gently to mold.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Let the puffs cool in the pan briefly before serving warm.
