Cheesy Mashed potato puffs -

Ingredients

2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)
2 large eggs
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup chopped green onions (optional)
1/4 cup milk
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Nonstick cooking spray or butter for greasing

Preparation

Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick spray or butter.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions (if using), milk, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until the ingredients are well incorporated and the batter is smooth.

Step 3: Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 4: Bake
Bake the potato puffs in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until they are golden brown and puffed up.

Step 5: Serve
Allow the puffs to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin. Serve warm as a snack, side dish, or appetizer.

Tips for Success

Texture Matters: Use creamy mashed potatoes for the best results. Lumpy potatoes might affect the puff texture.
Cheese Swap: Try mozzarella, Gruyère, or pepper jack for a fun twist.
Add Crunch: Top with breadcrumbs or panko before baking for extra texture.
