Instructions
1-First, gather your tools like a large bowl and a mini muffin tin to make things smooth.

3-In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, beaten eggs, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheese, chopped chives, salt, and pepper, mixing everything well until it’s evenly blended.
4-Next, use a small scoop or spoon to fill each muffin tin cup nearly to the top with the mixture.
5-Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup shredded cheese on top of each puff for that extra cheesy crust.
6-Bake for 15-20 minutes until the puffs are golden brown, puffed up, and set firm.
7-Let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before gently removing them.
8-Serve warm, garnished with extra chives and a dollop of sour cream if you like.
