Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, shredded cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, melted butter, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until blended.
Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with the cheesy mixture, creating a slight mound on top.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown and firm, enjoying the aroma as they cook.
Allow the puffs to cool for 5 minutes, then gently run a knife around the edges and lift them out. Garnish before serving.
