How to Make Mashed Potato Puffs

  1. Boil 2 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes until fork-tender (approximately 15-20 minutes).
  2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Cook over low heat for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, to evaporate excess moisture.
  3. Mash the potatoes thoroughly and let them cool slightly.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat together 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) melted butter, 1/2 cup cottage cheese, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until light and fluffy.
  5. Add the cooled mashed potatoes, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, and 2 cloves minced garlic to the egg mixture. Mix with an electric mixer until well combined.
  6. Generously spray a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  7. Spoon the potato mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake at 450°F (232°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and puffed.
  9. Let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
