  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese for rolling

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400° and grease a muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the chilled mashed potatoes, egg, shredded cheddar, chives, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
  3. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in grated Parmesan cheese to coat.
  4. Place the coated potato balls into the prepared muffin pan, gently pressing down to form a puff shape.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  6. Let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan and serve warm!
    Enjoy!
