"Soft and cheesy muffins that please everyone. Great in large or small muffin tins or even as a loaf. Delicious to serve to guests in the morning using the leftover mashed potatoes from the night before or to bring for lunch. Best with mashed potatoes that have some texture."

These were ok, but tasted like something was missing. If I make them again, I would not use sugar and try them with some spices. Thanks Chez Desiree

These are cheezy goodness!!! The mashed potatoes give an excellent texture and the sugar gives a nice hint of sweetness that really compliments the cheese! And if that's not enough, there is a great cheezy center to the muffin! Right out of the oven, these muffins are better than candy! Thank you, Desiree!
