Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin tin with cooking spray or ghee.
Prepare the Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cold mashed potatoes, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.
Form the Puffs: Roll the potato mixture into 1-inch balls. Then, coat each ball with grated Parmesan cheese.
Arrange in Muffin Tin: Place the coated balls into the prepared muffin tin, pressing them gently to fit the mold.
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and develop a slight crunch.
Serve: Allow the puffs to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy!
