Cheesy garlic mashed potato muffins

Author: Christopher Kosovich

Ingredients

  • 2.5 to 3 cups of freshly made or leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese divided
  • 3 Tablespoons chopped fresh chives or scallions divided
  • 1 garlic clove finely minced
  • Salt and pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 375ºF.
  • Grease a non-stick muffin pan with cooking spray. I use a 24 count mini-muffin pan.
  • In a large bowl, stir together the mashed potatoes, egg, 3/4 cup cheddar cheese and 2 tablespoons chopped chives or scallions.
  • Season mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, divide potato mixture evenly into prepared muffin pan, packing potatoes down into each cup.
  • Bake muffins for 30 to 35 minutes until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
  • Remove muffins from the oven, top them with the remaining 1/4 cup cheddar cheese and return to the oven for a few more minutes until cheese is melted.
  • Remove muffins from the oven and allow to cool in pan for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer muffins to serving dish, top with the remaining 1 tablespoon of chopped chives or scallions.
  • Serve immediately, they are best when hot out of the oven.
