•3 cups chilled mashed potatoes: Use leftovers or make a fresh batch and let it cool.
•1 large egg: Helps bind the ingredients together.
•1 cup shredded cheddar cheese: Adds a rich, cheesy flavor.
•1/4 cup chopped chives: Provides a fresh, onion-like taste.
•1/4 cup all-purpose flour: Helps hold the puffs together.
•1/2 teaspoon garlic powder: Adds a subtle garlic flavor.
•Salt and pepper to taste: Enhances the overall flavor.
•1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese: Used for coating the puffs, adding a crispy texture.
•Cooking spray or butter: For greasing the mini muffin pan.

Directions
Now, let’s make some Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C): Grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

2. Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chilled mashed potatoes, egg, shredded cheddar, chives, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.

3. Form the puffs: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Then, roll each ball in grated Parmesan cheese to coat them.

4. Place in the muffin pan: Place the coated potato balls into the cavities of the prepared mini muffin pan, gently pressing down to form a puff shape.

5. Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crisp on the outside.

6. Cool and serve: Let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan. Serve warm and watch them disappear!

Tips for Perfect Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs
• Use chilled mashed potatoes: Cold mashed potatoes are easier to work with and help the puffs hold their shape better.

• Don’t overmix: Mix the ingredients until just combined to avoid a dense texture.

• Experiment with cheeses: Try different types of cheese, like Gruyère or mozzarella, for a unique twist.

• Add extras: Incorporate cooked bacon bits, green onions, or herbs for additional flavor.
