Ingredients:
– 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes
– 1 cup shredded melting cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your preferred type)
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 tablespoons finely chopped chives
– 1/3 cup sour cream
– Salt to taste
– 2 eggs, beaten
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
2. In a mixing bowl, whisk the beaten eggs and incorporate the sour cream until thoroughly blended.
3. Add the shredded cheese, Parmesan, chopped chives, and a pinch of salt to the egg mixture. Stir until well combined.
4. Carefully fold in the leftover mashed potatoes, ensuring even distribution of ingredients.
5. Spoon the prepared mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup to the brim.
6. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 20-25 minutes or until the puffs turn golden brown and puff up.
Allow the potato puffs to cool for a few minutes before gently removing them from the muffin tin. Serve these delightful Cheese Puffs warm and savor the crispy outside with a soft, cheesy interior—a delicious way to transform leftovers into a flavorful treat!
