Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs are crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside—basically a fun, bite-sized upgrade to regular mashed potatoes.
🧀 What they are
Leftover (or fresh) mashed potatoes mixed with cheese, eggs, and seasonings, then baked in muffin tins until golden and slightly crispy.
😋 Flavor & texture
- Cheesy & savory
- Fluffy inside, thanks to eggs
- Lightly crispy edges from baking
👨🍳 Simple recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar works great)
- 2 eggs
- 2–3 tbsp chopped green onions (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F)
- Grease a muffin tin
- Mix all ingredients in a bowl
- Spoon mixture into muffin cups
- Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden on top
🔥 Tips for best results
- Use cold, thick mashed potatoes (they hold shape better)
- Add a pinch of garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor
- Sprinkle extra cheese on top before baking for a crispy crust
🍽️ Serve with
- Sour cream or garlic dip
- Ketchup or spicy mayo
- As a side with grilled chicken or steak
If you want, I can show you variations like stuffed puffs, air fryer method, or a version with chicken or bacon mixed in.
