Cheesy Herb Mashed Potato Puffs

Directions

1. Prep the Oven & Muffin Tin

• Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

• Lightly spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.

2. Make the Mixture

• In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar, Parmesan, eggs, flour, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

3. Fill the Muffin Tin

• Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

4. Bake

• Bake for 20–25 minutes, until tops are golden brown and crispy.

5. Serve

• Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing. Serve warm, straight from the oven.

Variations & Tips

• Add heat: Mix in chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne pepper.

• Extra indulgence: Stir in crumbled bacon for a smoky flavor.

• Lighter option: Replace some of the cheese with Greek yogurt.

• Herb swap: Try dill, parsley, or thyme for different flavor profiles.

These puffs are perfect alongside a fresh salad, soup, or grilled meats, and they’re great for dipping in sour cream, aioli, or your favorite sauce. 🥄
