Ingredients
2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made, cooled)
1 large egg
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or cheese blend)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp chopped fresh chives (optional)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1/4 tsp garlic powder
Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing muffin tin
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
In a mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, egg, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on top.
Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm.
Notes
Use leftover mashed potatoes for a quick version.
Add crumbled bacon for extra flavor.
Best enjoyed fresh from the oven but can be reheated in an air fryer for crispiness.
