Ingredients

  • 3 large russet potatoes peeled and cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup whole milk warm
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray or butter for greasing
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large pot, add the peeled and cubed potatoes and cover with cold water. Add a pinch of salt. Boil over medium-high heat for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and return to the pot.
  • While the potatoes are cooking, melt unsalted butter in a small pan. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Remove from heat.
  • Mash the cooked potatoes until smooth. Gradually add warm milk, garlic butter, and Parmesan cheese. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Lightly beat the egg and slowly stir into the mashed potatoes.
  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
  • Fill each muffin cup with mashed potatoes. Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top of each cup.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden and crispy. Let cool slightly before removing from the tin.
  • Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.

Notes

For a richer flavor, substitute half of the Parmesan with cheddar cheese.
