With just a few simple steps, you can have a batch of fluffy, cheesy muffins ready in no time. Here\u2019s how to do it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Start by preheating your oven to 350\u00b0F (175\u00b0C)<\/strong>. While the oven heats up, grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin<\/strong> with muffin liners to ensure the muffins don\u2019t stick.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In a large bowl, combine the leftover mashed potatoes<\/strong> and egg<\/strong>. Stir them together until smooth and well incorporated. The mashed potatoes should be soft and not too stiff. If they\u2019re a bit thick, feel free to add a splash of milk to loosen them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Next, add half of the shredded cheddar cheese<\/strong> and half of the chopped chives<\/strong> to the mixture. Stir everything together until the ingredients are evenly distributed. Season with salt and pepper to taste. The cheese will add flavor, while the chives will provide a fresh, mild onion flavor that brightens the muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Spoon the mashed potato mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each muffin cup about 3\/4 full<\/strong> to allow room for the muffins to rise as they bake. Make sure the batter is spread evenly in each cup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Top each muffin with a sprinkle of the remaining cheddar cheese<\/strong> and a few extra chives<\/strong>. This will create a cheesy, golden crust on top that adds both flavor and texture to the muffins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake the muffins for about 20-25 minutes<\/strong>, or until the tops are golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly. You can test if the muffins are done by inserting a toothpick into the center\u2014if it comes out clean, they\u2019re ready to be taken out of the oven.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Allow the mashed potato muffins<\/strong> to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before removing them. This will make it easier to take them out without them falling apart. Once they\u2019ve cooled slightly, remove them from the tin and serve immediately.<\/p>\n\n\n\n These mashed potato muffins<\/strong> make a great side dish for any meal. They\u2019re perfect alongside roast chicken<\/strong>, steak<\/strong>, or even soup<\/strong>. You can also enjoy them on their own for a light snack. They\u2019re great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner and are easy to pack for work or school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Additionally, these muffins are a hit at potlucks, family gatherings, or parties.
