Ingredients
- Cooking spray or butter
- 2 cups cooked mashed potatoes
- 3 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup grated cheese, such as Parmesan or Gruyère, divided
- 1/4 cup minced fresh chives
- 1/4 cup diced cooked bacon or ham (optional)
- Kosher salt
- Freshly ground black pepper
- Sour cream, for serve (optional)
Directions
- Arrange a rack in the middle of oven and heat to 400°F. Lightly coat the cups of a mini-muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
-
Place the mashed potatoes, eggs, 3/4 cup of the cheese, chives, and bacon or ham in a large bowl and stir to combine. Season, if necessary, with salt and pepper. The seasoning will depend on how seasoned your mashed potatoes were to begin with.
-
Fill each muffin cup with the mashed potatoes. Sprinkle the tops with the remaining 1/4 cup cheese.
-
Bake until the potato cups are set, browned on top, and heated through, about 20 minutes. Let cool for about 5 minutes in the pan, then use a spoon or knife to gently release them from the pan. Serve immediately with dollops of sour cream, if desired.
