Shh, this my secret weapon for keeping my husband in a good mood – he loves it

Preparing the Mixture:

Once you’ve gathered your ingredients, follow these steps to prepare the mixture:

Preheat your oven: Before you begin mixing the ingredients, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or butter.
Mix the ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the chilled mashed potatoes, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Form the potato balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, then roll each ball in grated Parmesan cheese to coat.

Baking:

Now that you’ve prepared the mixture, it’s time to bake the Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs:

Shape the puffs: Place the coated potato balls into the cavities of the prepared muffin pan, gently pressing down to form a puff shape.
Bake: Bake the puffs for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
Serve and enjoy: Let the puffs cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan. Serve warm and enjoy the deliciousness!
