Mashed Potato Puffs

Yield 8


Ingredients
2 eggs
1/3 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1 heaping cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
2 tablespoons chopped chives
salt and black pepper, to taste
3 cups mashed potatoes
---- sausage?

Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Butter 8 - 9 of the wells of a cupcake pan - preferably nonstick.

In a medium mixing bowl whisk the eggs then whisk in the sour cream. Mix in both cheeses and the chives.

Taste the potatoes and season them with salt and pepper if needed. Add them to the bowl and mix well.

Spoon them into the pan filling the cups just to the top or a little below.
Bake 25 - 35 minutes until they pull away from the sides of the cup and are golden brown all over.

Remove from oven and let them cool 5 minutes in pan. Turn them out onto a platter. Serve with sour cream.

these look yummy

*wails* I Know. But there's never really enough mashed potatoes left to make this.

I was thinking of making them with this in mind.
I try boiling spuds... with an eye to left overs the next day then hubby gets to the pan and MUST USE NOW *eye roll*

What pray tell does Mr. Meep do with the leftover mashed potatoes?
*grins* I too, if there's mashed potatoes left I will eat them rather than save them. But *huffs* I'm better now and I nuke the potato in the microwave instead of making mashed. Sometimes on holidays when there's company... I might make these.
Have come to the conclusion that small potatoes are pretty useless unless they're the red kind and meant to be quartered, if that, with their skins still on and popped into a stew or somesuch.

If it's there it must be eaten!
Same with pasta, anything *eyeroll*

hmmm jacket spuds are yummy.

We made something like this this afternoon. We put the leftover mash potatoes and some of the turkey plus stuffing (with we had to make more of because we'd eaten all we'd made on Friday (when we had a a turkey dinner at our house - Thursday was at Mom's, so no leftovers) with egg. No sour cream because the end product looked moist enough and we didn't add cheese because we were going to eat it with leftover gravy and cranberry sauce, but it turns out that I was the only one to eat the cranberry sauce, so I guess we could have added the cheese to at least part of it.

It made 24 cupcake sized things.

Are those puffs in the picture from a cupcake pan? If so, do they really come in square. I think I want one.

Yum.

I'm betting that that is an individual corn bread style biscuit pan. Might even be cast iron. They're pretty,

While at the store... that square individual cupcake pan... saw it. Wilton does it. Think it made as many as a dozen but I stopped counting once I saw that it was more than 8 like the recipe makes here. Looked about the right size squares too. My Walmart had it but if they did then undoubtedly other places will.

Thanks. Wouldn't that make great mac and cheese or scallop potato cookers? When we make them in a casserole dish, once that first scoop is out, stuff slides into the empty place. Maybe I should mention it to the family in regards to Christmas/my birthday...
