Cheesy Potato Puffs


 Cheesy Potato Puffs - makes 24

2 cups mashed potatoes
3 eggs
1 cup shredded cheese, divided
1/4 cup green onions or chives
Salt and pepper

Mix together the potatoes, eggs, 3/4 cup cheese, onions, salt and pepper.
Spray a 24 mini muffin pan. 
Using the medium pampered chef scoop, place a rounded scoop of the mixture in each of the wells. Distribute any extra among the wells - they will be pretty full.
Top each with a little of the reserved cheese. 

Bake at 400 for 15-20 minutes, until golden brown and set.
Let sit for 5 minutes before removing from the pan. 
Serve with a dollop of sour cream and bacon bits.
