  • Total Time: ~35–40 minutes
  • Yield: About 12 puffs (assuming yield from 2 cups mashed potatoes)

Description

Crispy on the outside and cheesy on the inside, these golden puffs are a fun and delicious way to transform leftover mashed potatoes into bite-sized snack perfection.


Ingredients

2 cups mashed potatoes

2 large eggs

1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded

1 cup breadcrumbs

½ cup all-purpose flour

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper 


Instructions

Preheat the oven and prepare for baking. (While the original source didn’t specify the oven temperature or bake time, a typical temperature is 200 °C / 400 °F.)

In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, eggs, cheddar cheese, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well mixed.

Shape the mixture into bite-sized puffs or balls and roll them in breadcrumbs to coat completely.

Place the puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased foil.

Bake until golden and crispy on the outside—typically around 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway (timing estimated based on standard baking for similar snacks).

Serve hot, optionally with your favorite dipping sauce (e.g., sour cream or aioli)
