Instructions
1. Preheat Your Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a mini muffin pan with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking.

3. Form the Puffs
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
- Roll each ball in grated Parmesan cheese to coat for an extra crispy crust.
4. Bake the Puffs
- Place the coated potato balls into the muffin pan, gently pressing down to form a puff shape.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs turn golden brown and crisp on the outside.
5. Serve and Enjoy
Let them cool for a few minutes before removing them from the pan. Serve warm and watch them disappear!
