Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (475 ml) mashed potatoes
- 1 cup (240 ml) shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup (60 ml) grated parmesan cheese
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- 2 green onions, chopped
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp smoked paprika
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preparation: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter to ensure effortless release.
- Mixing: In a large bowl, whisk together mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smoothly blended and fully incorporated.
- Filling: Evenly distribute the potato mixture into muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow space for rising and creating a beautifully rounded top.
- Baking: Slide the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 22-27 minutes, watching for a rich golden-brown exterior and a set, tender interior that signals perfect doneness.
- Resting and Serving: Allow the potato nibbles to rest for 3-5 minutes, then carefully loosen and transfer to a serving platter, ensuring each morsel is ready to be savored at its peak flavor and temperature.
Notes
- Prevent Sticking: Generously grease the muffin tin to ensure easy removal and maintain the nibbles’ perfect shape.
- Mix Thoroughly: Blend ingredients until uniformly combined for consistent flavor and texture in every bite.
- Watch Baking Time: Monitor closely during the 22-27 minute window to achieve a golden-brown crust without overcooking.
- Rest and Cool: Allow 3-5 minutes of resting time to help nibbles set and make removal easier without breaking.
