How to make leftover mashed potato puffs
Begin with preheating the oven to 400°F (200°C) and greasing a mini muffin tin with oil or butter to ensure the potato puffs don’t stick.
Next, in a mixing bowl, combine the leftover mashed potatoes with eggs, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Stir everything together until smooth and well incorporated.
Then, fold in the green onion and cheese, mixing until evenly distributed. Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary, ensuring the flavor is to your liking.
After that, spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup evenly.
Finally, sprinkle the tops with freshly ground black pepper, and for a bit of extra heat and color, add red pepper or paprika. Bake the potato puffs for 25 minutes or until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm for a delicious, savory snack or side dish!
