Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, and flour. Stir until well combined.
Add the chopped green onions, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Mix until evenly distributed.
Scoop the potato mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Smooth the tops of each muffin with the back of a spoon for even baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and the muffins are set.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing them carefully with a fork or spatula.
Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish, and enjoy the cheesy goodness!
