These Mashed Potato Muffins are a simple, tasty way to turn leftover mashed potatoes into a comforting, crowd-pleasing side dish. Fluffy on the inside and golden on top, they’re loaded with cheddar cheese, sour cream, and optional bacon for extra savoriness—perfect alongside dinner or as a snack.
To make them, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin well. In a large bowl, mix 4 cups of mashed potatoes with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, ½ cup sour cream, 2 beaten eggs, ¼ cup chopped green onions, and ¼ cup crumbled cooked bacon if you like. Season with salt and pepper, then spoon the mixture into the muffin cups, filling them to the top. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the tops are golden and set. Let cool slightly before removing and serving warm
