Ingredients

  • 2 Cloves Garlic Minced
  • ½ Bell Pepper Finely Chopped
  • 1 Cup Fresh Basil
  • 2 Teaspoon Salt
  • 1 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
  • 2 Pounds Potatoes
  • 3 Tablespoons Butter
  • 3 Tablespoons Milk
  • ½ 8- Ounce Package Smooth Cream Cheese
  • 1 Teaspoon White Pepper
  • 1 Egg Beaten
  • 2 Cups Grated Cheddar Cheese
  • 12 Wonton Wrappers

Instructions

  • All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
  • Heat a medium saucepan or skillet over medium-high heat and saute the shallots for 2 to 3 minutes or until the first signs of translucency.
  • Add the garlic and saute for 1 to 2 minutes or until aromatic.
  • Add the bell peppers and saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until tender.
  • Tear the basil leaves apart and stir into the shallots and garlic.
  • Season with salt and black pepper, cover, and remove from the heat.
  • Peel and cube the potatoes into ½ inch cubes.
  • Add the potatoes to a large pot filled with salted water over high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Once boiling, reduce the heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes or until the potatoes are tender and easily mashable.
  • Drain the potatoes and mash with butter while slowly adding milk, cream cheese, and a teaspoon each of salt and ground white pepper.
  • Once smooth, stir in the shallot, garlic, and bell pepper mix and blend until evenly combined.
  • Finally, mix in the egg and two cups of grated cheddar cheese until well combined. Season according to taste with salt and pepper if needed.
  • Preheat your oven to 350°F.
  • Oil or spray two twelve cup silicone muffin molds or pans.
  • Line one tray of twelve muffins with wonton wrappers brushed with oil and laid out to create cups. Bend each wrapper to make a recess by turning the fold in. Scoop measures of the mashed potato mixture into the wonton cups and the unlined prepared muffin cups.
  • Top each mashed potato cupcake with grated cheese.
  • Bake each tray for 8 to 13 minutes or until the cheese melts and the mash has set to a firm consistency. The edges of the wonton wrapper will brown when done.
