08 -
Butter or non-stick spray, to grease
09 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Let the puffs rest in their cups for a bit so you can slip them out easy. Go ahead and enjoy these while they’re still warm and tasty.
02 -
Slide the pan into your hot oven and let them bake 15 to 20 minutes till you spot golden edges. Keep an eye out so they don’t get too crispy.
03 -
Nestle each cheesy potato ball right into a muffin slot you greased earlier. Give them a gentle push so they fit snug in the pan.
04 -
Scoop the potato mix out into little balls, about an inch wide. Roll each one all around in grated Parmesan so they get a nice cheesy jacket.
05 -
Dump all the chilled potatoes, cheddar, chopped chives, flour, garlic powder, plus pepper and salt into a big bowl. Crack in the egg and stir it all up until nothing is left dry.
06 -
Crank the oven up to 400°F (200°C). Grab your mini muffin pan and coat it really well with butter or non-stick spray.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Sprinkle in a dash of cayenne or paprika for a little kick. These bites can be made in advance and warmed up in the oven right before you want to serve them.
