Heat oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Using a 7cm pastry cutter, stamp out 12 circles from the pastry. Use to line a 12-hole mini muffin tray, prick the base of the pastry with a fork, and bake for 10 mins. Remove from oven and cool on a wire tray. Repeat with remaining pastry.

Meanwhile, cook the potato in boiling water until tender. Drain, mash with soured cream and seasoning, then stir through chives. Spoon 1-2 tsp of chilli mix into the pastry cases and top with a tsp of mash. Ruffle mash with a fork; return to the oven for 15 mins or until golden.
