For an extra crispy exterior, consider using an oven with a convection setting. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices. A touch of rosemary or thyme can add a delightful flavor dimension. Serve these warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as garlic aioli, creamy herb dip, or even a simple ketchup. Ensure potatoes are as dry as possible after boiling to prevent soggy puffs.

Follow The Directions
01
StepBoil the Potatoes: Place the potatoes in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender (approximately 15 minutes). Drain thoroughly and mash until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.
02
StepPrepare the Oven and Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Generously butter a 24-cup mini muffin tin to prevent sticking.
03
StepCreate the Pâte à Choux Base: In a saucepan over medium heat, combine water, butter, and a pinch of kosher salt. Heat until the butter is completely melted and the mixture begins to bubble gently. Add the flour all at once, stirring vigorously with a wooden spoon until the mixture comes together into a smooth dough that pulls away from the sides of the pan (approximately 3-5 minutes).
04
StepIncorporate Eggs and Potatoes: Transfer the dough to a mixing bowl. Spread it against the sides of the bowl to encourage cooling (approximately 5 minutes). Gradually incorporate the eggs, one at a time, using a spatula or wooden spoon. The dough will initially appear broken, but continue mixing until it becomes smooth, glossy, and very sticky. Gently fold in the mashed potatoes until evenly combined. Season with cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and additional kosher salt to taste. Mix until just combined.
05
StepFill and Bake: Carefully scoop the potato dough into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
06
StepBake to Golden Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven until the puffs are golden brown and well-risen (approximately 20 minutes).
07
StepCool and Serve: Let the puffs rest in the muffin tin for 1 minute before carefully removing them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving warm.
