  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with non-stick spray or butter.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, eggs, sour cream, and herbs. Season with salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
  3. Spoon into Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or scoop, divide the mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups. Fill each about three-quarters full.
