Ham Potato Puffs - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package refrigerated buttermilk biscuits
1 cup ham, cubed fully cooked
2 cups mashed potatoes, leftovers
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded and DIVIDED
1/2 teaspoon parsley flakes
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon green onion (optional)

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Spray a 12 count muffin tin with cooking spray.
Mold biscuits to the shape of each biscuit cup. You will need to snip a bit from each in order to get 12 altogether-the biscuits I buy only have 8 in them.
In a large bowl, combine the ham, potatoes, 3/4 cup cheese, parsley, and garlic powder if using and green onion if using.
Divide ham mixture between the 12 cups.
Bake for about 25 minutes, or until done. (Use a toothpick to check if biscuit is done, then use a spoon to see if underside is brown enough, if not bake longer).
Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup of cheese and continue baking until cheese on top melts. (I put a large cooking sheet underneath so that the melting cheese does not mess up my oven).
Serve warm.
Refrigerate leftovers, or freeze.
