Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 24-cup mini muffin tin.
Combine mashed potatoes, beaten eggs, 3/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese, and chives in a bowl. Mix well and season with salt and pepper.
Fill each muffin tin cup nearly to the top with the mixture, leaving a little room for puffing.
Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of Monterey Jack cheese over each puff.
Bake for 15-20 minutes until golden brown and firm.
Cool for about 5 minutes, then gently lift each puff out of the tin.
Serve warm with optional sour cream or Greek yogurt for dipping.
