Ingredients:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (cold or leftover works best)
- 3 large eggs (beaten)
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup chopped chives or green onions
- ¼ cup bacon bits (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the muffin tin)
Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with butter or cooking spray.
- Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, eggs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, chives, and bacon bits (if using). Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup to the top.
- Bake: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the puffs are set.
- Cool and Serve: Let the puffs cool for 5 minutes in the tin before gently removing them. Serve warm with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.
These puffs are crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and packed with cheesy goodness. Let me know if you’d like tips on variations or serving ideas! 🧀🥔✨
