Garlic Chive Mashed Potato Puffins – These mashed potatoes puffins are a cross between a potato puff and a muffin filled with garlic, chives and creamy cheese.  They’re a spectacular way to use leftover mashed potatoes.  I know what you’re thinking, what are leftover mashed potatoes?  I completely concur they can be hard to come by, so I typically plan to overmake mashed potatoes for one meal so I can recreate leftovers into these puffins.

Can you make these using fresh mashed potatoes?  Of course, but make sure they are stiff mashed and cold.  If not, when you add the egg to the mixture they could scramble and while I love potatoes with scrambled eggs that’s not the goal for these puffins.  If you’d like to load ’em up toss in some cooked and crumbled bacon as well.  In my house bacon is never a bad idea.

You can also adjust the type of cheese that you use going with your preference or simply what you have handy.  Switching out the cheese will not change the texture but will make a difference in flavor.  That’s the fun of cooking, make it fun, be creative and don’t sweat the small stuff.

    Is the garlic and herb soft cheese a seasoned cream cheese?

      Actually it’s a softer cheese than cream cheese. However, if you prefer you could try these with chive & onion cream cheese. It will change the texture but they will still taste delicious.

      Yes, I always put butter and milk in mine if using leftovers. That being said, you can go light on those ingredients if you’re planning on making these puffins.
