Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, flour, Parmesan, chives, sour cream, and salt.
Mix well, then stir in the beaten eggs until fully incorporated.
Scoop the mixture into the mini muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes or until golden and crispy on top.
Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin. Serve warm.

Notes

These freeze well—just reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
Add cooked bacon bits or sautéed onions for extra flavor.
Best made with firm, cold mashed potatoes.
