Directions :
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, garlic and herb cheese, 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese, beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese, 1 tablespoon of chopped chives, garlic salt, and black pepper. Mix well, ensuring the garlic and herb cheese is evenly distributed.
Liberally brush the cups of a 12-cup standard muffin tin with cooking spray or melted butter. Use a 4 oz ice cream scoop to evenly divide the mixture among the muffin cups.
Sprinkle the tops with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven for 23-25 minutes, or until the puffins are set and the tops are golden brown.
Run a knife around the edges of each puffin to loosen them from the muffin tin.
Serve immediately, with or without a dollop of sour cream, and garnish with the remaining chopped chives.
