Ingredients:
- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1/4 cup butter, melted
- 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives
- 2 large eggs

Instructions:
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or butter.
- Cook Potatoes: Place the peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot and cover with water. Add a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- Mash Potatoes: In a large bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. You can use a potato masher or a ricer for this.

- Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup to the top and smoothing the surface with the back of a spoon.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the edges are crispy.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the puffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before removing them. Serve warm, garnished with additional chives if desired.
