Ingredients
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or cooking spray)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a muffin tin with vegetable oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, flour, egg, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Step 4
Spoon the potato mixture evenly into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Use the back of a spoon to smooth the tops if necessary.
Step 5
Brush the surface of each mashed potato puff with melted butter to help them turn golden brown while baking.
Step 6
Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden and crispy on the edges.
Step 7
Remove the tray from the oven and let the potato puffs cool slightly in the tin for 3-5 minutes before gently removing them with a spoon or knife.
Step 8
Serve the mashed potato puffs warm, garnished with additional chopped green onions or a dollop of sour cream for an extra touch.
