Ingredients

• 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
• 1 cup Cheddar cheese
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
• 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 large Egg
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a standard muffin tin with olive oil to prevent sticking.

Step 2

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the baby potatoes and cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.

Step 3

Once the potatoes are fork-tender, drain them and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Let them cool slightly before proceeding.

Step 4

Mash the potatoes with a potato masher or fork until smooth, leaving a few small chunks for texture.

Step 5

Mince the garlic and finely chop the parsley.

Step 6

To the mashed potatoes, add the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, butter, garlic, parsley, salt, black pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs. Mix everything together until fully combined.

Step 7

Scoop the potato mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cavity about 3/4 full. Use the back of a spoon to press the mixture gently into each cavity and shape it into mini loaves.

Step 8

Sprinkle a little extra Parmesan cheese on top of each potato loaf for added crispiness.

Step 9

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and crispy.

Step 10

Let the potato loaves cool for 5 minutes in the tin before carefully removing them with a spatula or fork.

Step 11

Serve warm, garnished with extra parsley if desired.
