These Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs are a delightful twist on traditional mashed potatoes, combining cheddar cheese, chives, and a crispy Parmesan coating. Perfect for a side dish or a tasty snack!

Ingredients

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

  1. 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.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix the chilled mashed potatoes with shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Crack the egg into the bowl and stir thoroughly until everything is evenly mixed.
  3. Form the Puffs: Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to form the potato mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in grated Parmesan cheese for a crispy coating. Place each ball into a cup of the greased muffin pan, pressing gently to shape them into the mold.
  4. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the puffs turn golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
  5. Cool and Serve: Let the puffs cool in the pan for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm for the best flavor and texture.
