INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 cups milk
3/4 cup instant mashed potato flakes
1 egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup shredded Cheddar cheese
1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons snipped chives
1 tablespoon dried parsley flakes
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

In a saucepan, bring milk to a boil. Remove from the heat; stir in potato flakes. Let stand for 2 minutes. Whip with a fork until smooth; cool slightly. Beat in egg, oil and cheese. Combine remaining ingredients; stir in potato mixture just until moistened (batter will be thick).
Fill greased muffin cups three-fourths full. Bake at 400 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool for 5 minutes; remove from pan to a wire rack. Serve warm.
