Description
These small, cheesy puffs made from mashed potatoes are perfect for snacks or sides, featuring a golden top and a soft inside.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups mashed potatoes (best if chilled)
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1/3 cup sour cream
- Salt to taste
- 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
- Whisk the eggs and sour cream together in a large bowl until smooth.
- Stir in the shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives, ensuring an even distribution.
- Fold the mashed potatoes into the egg mixture gently to maintain texture.
- Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Bake for about 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and puffed up.
- Allow the puffs to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin.
