4. Add Cheese and Toppings:
If you’re adding cheese, sprinkle a bit of shredded cheese into each mashed potato cup.
For added flavor, you can also sprinkle cooked bacon bits over the top or mix them directly into the mashed potatoes before scooping them into the tin.
5. Bake the Mashed Potato Cups:
Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the edges of the potato cups are golden brown and crispy.
If you like your cheese extra melted, you can turn on the broiler for an additional 1-2 minutes, but be sure to watch carefully to prevent burning.
6. Garnish and Serve:
Once they’re baked to perfection, remove the mashed potato cups from the muffin tin. Use a spoon or butter knife to gently lift them out.
Garnish with chopped chives or green onions for a fresh touch.
