Instructions
- Heat oven to 400 F. Spray the cups of a mini muffin pan with non-stick spray or coat with olive oil. Test leftover mashed potatoes to ensure that you are pleased with the seasoning. Add salt and pepper as needed.
- In a large bowl, Mix together, mashed potatoes, sausage, cheese, eggs and chives. Make sure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
