Ingredients
  

For the Potato Mixture
  • 2 cups shredded potatoes Ensure they’re grated fresh and dried thoroughly for that perfect crunch.
  • 1 egg (beaten) For a vegan option, use a flax egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water).
  • 1/4 cup flour Hold together; swap for gluten-free flour if necessary.
  • 1 tsp salt Enhances the flavor.
  • 1/2 tsp pepper Adds warmth; adjust to personal taste.
For the Cheese Filling
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese Brings rich, classic flavor; consider Pepper Jack for a spicy kick.
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese Offers that melt-in-your-mouth creaminess; dairy-free cheese works as a substitute.
  • 1/4 cup parmesan cheese Adds depth and flavor; skip for a dairy-free version or use nutritional yeast.
For Garnish
  • 2 tbsp chopped chives Freshness and visual appeal; green onions or parsley can replace them.

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowl

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Crispy Cheesy Potato Bites
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Allow at least 10 minutes for it to reach this temperature.
  2. Grease a muffin tin or a baking tray with non-stick spray or oil.
  3. Rinse the shredded potatoes under cold water, drain, and dry them thoroughly using a kitchen towel.
  4. Combine dried shredded potatoes with cheddar, mozzarella, and parmesan cheese, along with beaten egg, flour, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  5. Press the mixture into each muffin cup, creating a small indentation in the center.
  6. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden brown and crisp around the edges.
  7. Remove from the oven, let cool for about 5 minutes, and garnish with chopped chives.
