Ingredients

  • 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) and grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, mix mashed potatoes with the egg until fully combined.
  3. Stir in 3/4 of the shredded cheese and 2 tablespoons of chives.
  4. Spoon mixture into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full and smoothing tops.
  5. Sprinkle remaining cheese and chives on top.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden and slightly crisp on edges.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes, then remove and serve warm.

Notes

  • Ensure mashed potatoes are not too runny for best texture.
  • Grease muffin tin well to prevent sticking.
  • Add spices like garlic powder or paprika for extra flavor.
  • Swap cheddar with mozzarella or other cheeses if desired.
  • Reheat in oven for crisp texture; microwave softens them.
  • Can be frozen for up to 1 month and reheated directly.
