These mini cheesy potato bites are soon to become your go-to appetizer for parties and a favorite anytime snack for kids. The secret ingredient in these is actually cauliflower! By adding cauliflower to mashed potatoes, you get a nutritional boost with an extra serving of vegetables. These are also perfect for those with lactose intolerance since our cheddar cheese is naturally lactose-free.

To make a dozen, preheat your oven to 350°F and spray a mini muffin tin with non-stick spray. In a medium size pot, bring the potatoes to a boil, then turn heat down to low, and cover and simmer for 15 minutes.

In the meantime, place the cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl with a splash of water and steam in microwave until very tender, for about 3 minutes. Once the potatoes are done cooking, drain water and add in cauliflower, mashing until combined. Then add in the shredded Cabot Extra Sharp Cheddar, garlic, chives, pepper, and salt, mixing until smooth.

Fill the muffin tins with potato mixture and top each with more cheese. Bake until tops are golden brown, for approximately 20 minutes. Let cool for a few minutes in tin before removing. Potato bites can be served warm or at room temperature.
