Cheesy Bacon and Ham Potato Puffs

What to do with those leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes? Why you make Black Friday brunch goodies, of course! Looking for a great tailgating recipe that's far removed from the regular chips and dip and tortilla chips and salsa? These little bites are perfect!

2 cups leftover mashed potatoes

1/4 cup finely chopped cooked bacon

1/4 cup finely chopped cooked ham

1 cup shredded cheddar cheese, divided

1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives

3 large eggs, lightly beaten

Preheat oven to 400 degrees and lightly grease a 24 count mini-muffin pan.

Cook bacon and ham in a small skillet. 

In a medium bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, bacon, ham, 3/4 cup of cheese and 3/4 of the chives. Blend in the eggs and depending on your taste, you might want to add a little salt and pepper. This will depend on how your potatoes were seasoned.

Lightly spoon mixture into the muffin tin.

Cook for about 20 minutes until golden brown and let rest in the pan for about 5 minutes before removing. Top with the remaining cheese and chives before serving.
