Ingredients
-
2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)

½ cup shredded cheddar cheese (or mozzarella, parmesan, etc.)

¼ cup milk or sour cream

2 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

🥣 Instructions
-
Preheat oven:

Set to 375°F (190°C) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
-
-
Mix the batter:
-
In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, eggs, cheese, milk, and seasonings.
-
Mix until smooth and creamy — the texture should be thick but spoonable.
-
-
Fill muffin cups:
-
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
-
Sprinkle a little extra cheese on top if desired.
-
-
Bake:

Bake for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
-
-
Cool and serve:
-
Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan.

Enjoy warm — perfect with sour cream, gravy, or ketchup!
-
✨ Tips
-
Works best with stiffer mashed potatoes (not too runny).
-
Add-ins like bacon bits, chives, or roasted garlic make them extra tasty.
-
These freeze and reheat beautifully — just pop them in the oven or air fryer to crisp up again!
