Directions
Step 1: Preheat and Prepare Pan
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
Step 2: Mix Ingredients
In a large bowl, mix together mashed potatoes, egg, cheddar cheese, chives, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Step 3: Form and Coat
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in grated Parmesan cheese to coat evenly.
Step 4: Fill Muffin Pan
Place the coated balls into the muffin pan, pressing gently to form a puff shape.
Step 5: Bake
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Step 6: Cool and Serve
Let cool for a few minutes before removing from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy.
