Cheesy Potato Bite Puffs (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
3 beaten eggs.
02 -
2 cups cold mashed potatoes.
03 -
1 cup Monterey Jack cheese (shredded), split.
04 -
1/4 cup fresh chives (finely chopped), extra for topping.
05 -
Salt and pepper as needed.
06 -
Sour cream for topping (if wanted).
# Instructions:
01 -
Get your oven hot at 400°F (200°C). Grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin lightly so your tiny bites won't stick when they puff up.
02 -
Grab a big bowl and mix your cold mashed potatoes with the eggs, then stir in 3/4 cup cheese and those chopped chives. Throw in some salt and pepper till it tastes good to you.
03 -
Drop the potato mix into each cup of your muffin tin, filling them almost to the top so they'll set up nicely.
04 -
Scatter that last 1/4 cup cheese on each potato cup to give them a tasty crisp top.
05 -
Pop them in the oven for 15-20 minutes. They'll rise up and turn a nice golden color when they're ready.
06 -
Let them sit for about 5 minutes after baking. Then run a butter knife or spatula around each one to pop them out.
07 -
Give them to folks while they're still warm. Top with some fresh chives and a dollop of sour cream if you want. Each bite's got that awesome cheesy taste.
# Notes:
01 -
Make sure your potatoes are totally cold before you add eggs or they won't puff right.
02 -
Don't stir too much or your puffs will come out heavy instead of light.
03 -
A cookie scoop makes filling the tin way easier.
04 -
Want them crispier? Try a regular-sized muffin tin.
05 -
Put your pan on the bottom rack of the oven for the best browning.
