Mashed Potato Cheese Puffs Recipe: The Ultimate Comfort Snack Everyone Will Love


  • Author: Hannah

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cold mashed potatoes (leftovers work great!)

  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (or your favorite melting cheese)

  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives (optional)

  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

  • Salt & pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons flour (or more if mixture is too soft)

  • Butter or nonstick spray (for greasing the muffin pan)


Instructions

1. Preheat oven:

Preheat to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin tin well with butter or spray.


2. Mix the filling:

In a large bowl, combine:

  • Mashed potatoes

  • Egg

  • Cheddar and Parmesan cheese

  • Garlic powder

  • Green onions/chives

  • Salt, pepper, and flour

Mix until everything is well incorporated. The mixture should be thick and scoopable. Add a bit more flour if it’s too wet.


3. Spoon into tin:

  • Scoop the mixture into the muffin cups, filling them almost to the top.

  • Use the back of a spoon to smooth the tops slightly if needed.


4. Bake:

 

  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown on top and crispy around the edges.

  • Let cool for a few minutes in the pan before gently removing.
