Baked Mashed Potato Bites

1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Lightly coat a mini muffin pan (24 cups) with cooking spray.
2. Heat potatoes according to package directions in microwave.
3. Transfer to a large bowl and Mash the potatoes with a fork. Add garlic, olive oil, pepper and salt and mix until combined. They won’t be completely smooth because of the potato skins.
4. Stir the prosciutto, green onions, Parmesan cheese and parsley into the mashed potatoes. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
5. Using a spoon, place 1 ½ tablespoons of the mashed potato mixture into each muffin tin. Lightly press down the mixture.
6. Bake until the potato bites are browned around the edges and starting to brown on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes. Using a small metal spatula, remove the potato bites from the muffin tin and transfer to a serving platter. Garnish with sour cream and parsley, if desired.
