Ingredients

  • 3 cups (600 g) mashed potatoes
  • 1 cup (100 g) shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup (30 g) chopped green onions
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter or cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin or baking sheet.
  2. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, eggs, breadcrumbs, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Mix everything thoroughly until well combined.
  4. Scoop the mixture into small portions and shape into bite-sized balls or press into the muffin tin.
  5. Lightly brush or spray the tops with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  7. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly before serving.

Notes

  • Use mozzarella for a stretchier, cheesier texture.
  • Add chili flakes or diced jalapeños for a spicy kick.
  • Mix in herbs like parsley or chives for extra freshness.
  • Ensure enough eggs and breadcrumbs are used to help bind the mixture.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Microwave reheating is quicker but results in a softer texture.
  • Can be frozen before or after baking for longer storage.
