Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Grease 8–9 wells of a nonstick cupcake pan with butter.
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, then whisk in the sour cream.
4. Add the cheddar, Parmesan, and chives, mixing until combined.
5. Fold in the cold mashed potatoes and season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. Spoon the mixture into the cupcake pan, filling each well to just below the top.
7. Bake for 25–35 minutes, until golden brown and pulling away from the edges.
8. Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully turn the puffs out onto a platter.
9. Serve with a dollop of sour cream and a sprinkle of fresh chives.

Tips for Success

• Cold mashed potatoes work best—they hold their shape and puff up nicely.
• Don’t overfill the cupcake wells to avoid spills during baking.
