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 divided
- 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 most of the Parmesan cheese, keeping a little back for the tops. 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 the reserved 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.
