Ingredients

Scale

Potato Mixture

  • 3 cups mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons chives, chopped
  • Salt to taste

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite melting cheese)
  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/3 cup sour cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a muffin tin thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Eggs and Sour Cream: In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the sour cream until the mixture is smooth and well combined, ensuring a creamy base for the puffs.
  3. Add Cheeses and Chives: Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, chopped chives, and a pinch of salt into the egg mixture. Mix thoroughly to distribute flavors evenly.
  4. Combine with Mashed Potatoes: Gently fold in the mashed potatoes and all-purpose flour to the cheese and egg mixture, making sure the batter is evenly combined but not overmixed to maintain fluffiness.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture into the greased muffin tin cups, filling each cup to the top for uniform puffs.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and the puffs have risen nicely.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the potato cheese puffs to cool slightly before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm as a delicious side or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute the shredded cheese with any favorite melting cheese such as Monterey Jack or Gruyère.
  • For a crispier texture, you can add a light sprinkle of breadcrumbs on top before baking.
  • These puffs can be made ahead and reheated in the oven to maintain their crispiness.
  • Adding fresh herbs like parsley or thyme can enhance the flavor profile.
  • If you want a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
