Mashed Potato Cheese Puffs
Discover easy, delicious mashed potato cheese puffs, crispy, cheesy bites perfect for any snack or cozy meal.
Ingredients
- About 1 ½ cups of creamy mashed potatoes leftovers work perfectly here.
- 2 eggs lightly whisked to bring everything together.
- A generous handful of shredded sharp cheddar for that melty cheesy goodness.
- A small handful of spiced chicken pieces or your favorite savory topping to add a burst of flavor.
- A few tablespoons of finely chopped fresh chives or green onions for a bright fresh touch.
- A pinch of black pepper to season just right.
- A sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to add a subtle nutty depth.
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, gently combine your creamy mashed potatoes with the whisked eggs, shredded cheddar, spiced chicken pieces, and chopped chives. Mix everything gently until it’s combined.
- Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to taste, and give it one last gentle mix to spread the seasoning.
- Lightly grease your muffin pan to prevent sticking. Then, scoop a generous spoonful of the mixture into each cup, pressing slightly to shape.
- Sprinkle a little grated Parmesan cheese on top of each puff for that golden, flavorful crust.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 30 minutes, or until the puffs turn beautifully golden and crispy around the edges.
- Let them cool for a few minutes before carefully removing from the pan. Enjoy them hot, savoring every gooey, comforting mouthful.
