Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin.

2. In a bowl, mix: mashed potatoes, egg, shredded cheese, parmesan, melted butter, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

3. Scoop the mixture into each mini muffin cup (fill about ¾ full).

4. If you want a melty center: press a tiny cube of cheese into each and cover with a little potato.

5. Bake 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and edges are crisp.

6. Let cool 5 minutes, then pop them out and serve warm.
