- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 green onions, finely sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)

Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a muffin tin to prevent sticking.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, green onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika (if using), salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
3. Fill the Muffin Tin
Spoon the potato mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup nearly to the top.
4. Bake
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the puffs are firm to the touch.
5. Serve
Let the puffs cool slightly before removing them from the tin. Serve warm and enjoy the cheesy, fluffy goodness!
