Here’s my secret trick to keep my husband smiling – he can’t get enough of it!

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a mini muffin pan.
In a large bowl, combine the chilled mashed potatoes, egg, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh spinach.
Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
Roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Coat each ball in grated Parmesan cheese.
Place the coated balls into the greased mini muffin pan.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.

Let them cool slightly before serving warm.
Variations & Tips
For a different flavor profile, try adding a teaspoon of smoked paprika or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a bit of heat. You can also substitute the cheddar cheese with mozzarella or pepper jack for a unique twist. If you have picky eaters, consider blending the spinach into the mashed potatoes to make it less noticeable. For a gluten-free version, replace the all-purpose flour with almond flour or a gluten-free flour blend.
