Ingredients
2 cups mashed potatoes
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 large eggs
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, flour, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until tops are golden brown and slightly crispy.
Let cool in the tin for a few minutes before carefully removing. Serve warm.
Notes
Add chopped jalapeños or a pinch of cayenne for a spicy version.
Mix in crumbled bacon for extra richness.
Swap cheddar for gruyère or mozzarella for a different cheesy twist.
For a lighter version, substitute Greek yogurt for some of the cheese.
Experiment with fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or basil based on your preferences.
