Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)
  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup green onions, chopped (optional)
  • 1/4 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • Butter or non-stick spray (for greasing the muffin tin)

Instructions

  • Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Grease a mini muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray.

  • Mix Ingredients:

    • In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
    • Add mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Stir until well combined.
    • Fold in green onions and crumbled bacon (if using).

  • Fill Muffin Tin:

    • Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.

  • Bake:

    • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges.

  • Cool & Serve:

    • Let the puffs cool for 5 minutes, then carefully remove them from the muffin tin.
    • Serve warm with sour cream, ranch dressing, or ketchup!

Notes

  • You can swap cheddar cheese for parmesan, pepper jack, or gouda for different flavors.
  • If the batter is too thick, add a splash of milk to loosen it.
  • Use a regular muffin tin for larger puffs (adjust baking time to 25-30 minutes).
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven for best texture.
