Mashed Potato Cups are a delightful comfort food that combines creamy mashed potatoes with a variety of toppings, baked to perfection.

Scale

Boil the cubed potatoes in a large pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes.
Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add butter, milk, salt, and pepper, and mash until creamy and smooth.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Spoon the mashed potato mixture into greased muffin tins, creating a slight indentation in the center for toppings.
Sprinkle cheese on top of each cup and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and add any additional toppings of your choice before serving warm.

Choose russet potatoes for the fluffiest texture.
Add extra richness with cream if desired.
Feel free to mix cheeses for different flavors.
Optional toppings can include chopped green onions, bacon bits, sour cream, or sautéed vegetables.
