1️⃣ Prepare the Potatoes

Boil the potatoes until tender. Peel and mash them while still warm until smooth.

2️⃣ Make the Mixture

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, cheeses, onion, garlic, and parsley.

Season with salt, black pepper, paprika, and herbs.

Mix well until everything is fully combined.

3️⃣ Fill the Muffin Tin

Grease a muffin tin with a little oil or butter.

Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups and gently press it down.

Sprinkle extra cheese on top for a golden, cheesy crust.

4️⃣ Bake

Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20–25 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy on top.

5️⃣ Serve

Allow to cool for 5 minutes before removing from the tin.

Serve warm with garlic sauce, mayonnaise, ketchup, or your favorite dip.
