Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or oil.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes with cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, green onions, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, scoop about 2 tablespoons of the potato mixture and shape it into a small ball or puff shape. Place each puff onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out.
Roll each puff in breadcrumbs to coat and then return them to the baking sheet.
Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puffs turn golden brown and crispy.
Serve warm and enjoy as an appetizer, side dish, or snack!

Notes

For added spice, include cayenne pepper in the mixture.
Substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
Feel free to mix in herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor.
Cheese lovers can swap in mozzarella or gouda for a different flavor.
