Updated on Dec 30, 2011

I wanted a new way to use leftover mashed potatoes. I thought individual servings would be a fun way to do them and would allow for more surface area to brown! I added meat & cheese so I only needed to make a veggie on the side.

prep time 20 Min
cook time 35 Min
method Bake
yield 6 serving(s)

Ingredients

  • 3 cups mashed potatoes
  • 12 small frozen fully cooked turkey meatballs, thawed
  • as desired - shredded cheese, any variety you like

How To Make potato puffs

  • Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Step 2
    Spray cups of muffin pan with no stick spray.
  • Step 3
    Heat mashed potatoes in microwave.
  • Step 4
    Fill each muffin cup about 1/3 full with potatoes leaving a dip in the middle.
  • Step 5
    Place 1 meatball in the dip.
  • Step 6
    Sprinkle with shredded cheese.
  • Step 7
    Add more potatoes, pressing down to edges of cup and making a slightly rounded peak on the top.

    Turn oven temp up to 450 degrees for 5-10 minutes or until the tops are slightly browned.
  • Step 10
    Run butter knife around edges to make sure they are loose then lift out (I used the knife & a fork and they came right out).
