      • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
      • 1/3 cup milk (or heavy cream)
      • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite cheese)
      • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
      • 2 tbsp chopped green onions or chives
      • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

      • Salt and pepper to taste
      • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (optional, for extra texture)

      Equipment

      • Muffin tin (12-cup)
      • Mixing bowl
      • Spoon or spatula
      • Non-stick spray

       

      Instructions

      Step 1: Preheat the Oven
      Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Spray a muffin tin with non-stick spray or grease lightly with butter.

      Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

      1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, beaten egg, and milk. Stir until smooth.
      2. Add the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

      Step 3: Fill the Muffin Tin

      1. Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
      2. If using breadcrumbs, sprinkle a light layer on top of each puff for added crunch.

      Step 4: Bake
      Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and slightly crispy on top.

      Step 5: Cool and Serve
      Let the puffs cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm, garnished with extra chives or green onions if desired.

      Tips

      • Add crumbled bacon for a smoky flavor.
      • Swap cheddar for Gruyère or mozzarella for a different cheesy twist.
