Ingredients You’ll Need
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (cold or room temperature)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk or cream
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray or a little oil for greasing the pan
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Prepare Your Oven and Pan
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or brush it with a little oil. This ensures the puffs release easily and develop a crispy exterior.
Step 2: Mix the Mashed Potato Base
In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed potatoes. Break them up gently with a spoon so they’re smooth and lump-free. This creates a light, even texture in the finished puffs.
