Mashed Potato Muffins

Ingredients

• 3 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or fresh)
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 egg
• 1/4 tsp garlic powder
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tbsp chopped fresh chives or parsley
• Optional toppings: extra cheese, herbs, or breadcrumbs

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheese, sour cream, milk, egg, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix until fully combined.
3. Scoop the mixture evenly into the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full, and smooth the tops slightly. Top with extra cheese or a sprinkle of herbs if desired.
4. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.
5. Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before removing. Serve warm.
