• Drain the potatoes well and return to the pot. Place over low heat, stirring constantly, until the excess water evaporates, about 1 minute. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher, leaving a few clumps of potato. Slowly pour in the milk and cheese mixture and 1/4 cup of the Parmesan, mix to combine. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• Divide the potatoes evenly between the prepared ramekins. Top each with 1 tablespoon of the remaining Parmesan. Bake until the top is golden brown and the edges are bubbling, about 15 minutes. Garnish with the chives and serve.
