Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover or freshly made)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup green onions or chives, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon melted butter (for greasing)

For Garnish:

  • Extra cheese
  • Chopped green onions or chives
  • A dollop of sour cream



Instructions

🥔 Prepare the Mashed Potato Mixture:

  1. Preheat Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
    • Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with melted butter or non-stick spray.
  2. Mix Ingredients:

    • In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, bacon (if using), eggs, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
    • Mix until well combined and smooth.

🧁 Assemble the Potato Cups:

  1. Fill the Muffin Tin:

    • Spoon the mashed potato mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
    • Gently press the mixture down to compact it.
  2. Top with Cheese:

    • Sprinkle a bit of extra shredded cheese on top of each cup for a golden, cheesy crust.

🔥 Bake the Potato Cups:

  1. Bake:

    • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crispy.
  2. Cool Slightly:

    • Let the potato cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes before gently removing them.

Notes

  • Make It Creamier: Add 1/4 cup of cream cheese or 1/4 cup of heavy cream to the mixture.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheating Tip: Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
