Kelly’s Notes
- The Mashed Potatoes
- If your leftover mashed potatoes are too stiff, stir in a splash of milk or cream to loosen them slightly.
- If they’re overly buttery or thin, add a tablespoon of flour to thicken the mixture.
- Add-Ins for Variety
- Mix in crumbled bacon for a smoky twist.
- Add finely chopped vegetables like bell peppers or spinach for added nutrition.
- Replace cheddar cheese with parmesan or a mix of your favorite cheeses for a different flavor profile.
- Make It Ahead
- These muffins can be made ahead and reheated in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10 minutes, or in the microwave for 20-30 seconds.
