Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 12-cup square or round muffin pan with butter.

- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and sour cream until combined.
- Stir in the cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped chives.
- Add the egg mixture to the mashed potatoes, and combine until well mixed.
- Spoon the potato mixture into the greased muffin pan, filling each cup to the top or slightly below, about 4 tablespoons per muffin cup.
- Bake for 25-35 minutes, until the potato puffs pull away from the sides of the cups and are golden brown all over.
- Remove from the oven, and let cool for 5 minutes in the pan.
- Turn the potato puffs out onto a platter, and serve with additional sour cream.
