→ For Coating and Pan
08 -
Butter or spray oil for greasing the pan
09 -
50 g Parmesan cheese, finely grated
# Steps:
01 -
Let the potato bites rest in the pan for a few minutes before taking them out. Pop them out and enjoy while they're still warm for that yummy texture.
02 -
Slide the muffin tin into your hot oven. Bake anywhere from 15 up to 20 minutes, checking for a rich golden edge. Don’t let them go too long or they’ll dry out.
03 -
Put each cheesy ball into the greased muffin cups. Press them in till they fit nicely in each spot.
04 -
Scoop out some of your mix with clean hands or a little scoop and roll into balls, about 2.5 cm wide. Roll each ball all over in the parmesan so they’re well covered.
05 -
Mix up the cold mashed potatoes, cheddar, chives, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Crack in your egg and stir it all together until it looks even.
06 -
Get your oven going at 200°C. Generously butter or spray a mini muffin tin so the bites won’t stick later.
# Notes:
01 -
If you like a bit of heat, toss in some cayenne or paprika. You can make these ahead of time and just warm them in the oven before serving.
