Mashed Potato Cheese Puffs (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

01 - 3 cups mashed potatoes, chilled
02 - 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or other melting cheese)
03 - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
04 - 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, optional
05 - 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
06 - 1/3 cup sour cream
07 - Salt, to taste
08 - 2 eggs, beaten

# Instructions:

01 - Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk the eggs and sour cream together until smooth to create a light, creamy consistency.
03 - Stir in the shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives, ensuring even distribution.
04 - Gently fold the mashed potatoes into the egg mixture, mixing thoroughly but carefully to maintain texture.
05 - Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow for rising.
06 - Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and puffed up.
07 - Allow the puffs to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin and serving.

# Notes:

01 - Use chilled mashed potatoes for better texture and consistency.
02 - Optional Parmesan cheese adds deeper flavor.
