Mashed Potato Bites are a tasty way to use up leftover mashed potatoes!
I love potatoes. Heck, I love any kind of carbs but potatoes are right up there along with delicious, fresh, homemade bread! I could eat potatoes every day of the week if I had too, even sweet potatoes which don't have as many carbs but are still super duper delish! When I make mashed potatoes I literally use a 5 pound bag of russet potatoes. I know a potato doesn't really qualify as a vegetable but my kids love potatoes as much as I do and would eat them with every meal so when I make them, I make a lot of them!
Mashed potatoes are awesome for leftovers. I love to reheat and eat them as-is, but sometimes I like to mix it up a bit and try new recipes. For this easy recipe I threw together leftover mashed potatoes, shredded cheese and green onions, three of my favorites things. I could eat these bites as a meal or they would also make a great appetizer or side dish. Serve with a side of sour cream and you can't eat just one! Make sure you have a mini muffin tin because the smaller the mashed potato bite, the more crunchy on the outside and creamy on the inside it will be!

I just made these as a trial run with some leftover mashed potatoes to see if we wanted to serve them tomorrow night. THEY ARE AMAZING!!! We love them!!!!!!

Alternative to russet potato that I can use and will it work too if I use the silicone cupcake mold? It's sounds a healthy option for a snack or even for lunchbox? Thanks

Can you add bacon to the mixture before you cook or is it better to sprinkle over after you cook them?
Thank you! 😊
Kari
I would say BOTH! It won't hurt to add it in the mix and then top it with more bacon! Is there such a thing as too much bacon!?!?

Had almost exactly 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes. Didn't have green onion but still made these with mozz cheese. Excellent and a great change up! Thanks!

Did a trial run in the air fryer. Put in muffin tin, froze for 1 hour. Popped from tin & air fried. They got very soft?? Don’t know why. Is the egg key in this? To keep it crisp & formed??

I made these without the green onion. I also just made little mounds onto a piece of parchment on a baking sheet. I didn't feel like making my mini muffin tin dirty. They were very yummy! The bottoms got crispy. Even my daughter who refuses to eat leftovers said they were very yummy! Thanks for sharing your recipe. 🙂
