Delicious Mashed Potato Cheese Puffs Recipe You’ll Love!
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mashed potatoes
- 1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Mashed Potatoes: If you’re using fresh potatoes, peel and cut them into chunks. Boil in salted water until fork-tender, then drain and mash until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly before mixing in other ingredients.
- Mix the Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the warm mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, and eggs. Add your seasonings (garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper) and mix until everything is well incorporated.
- Shape the Puffs: With clean hands, scoop out a tablespoon of the mixture and form it into a small ball or patty. Repeat until all the mixture is used up. You should have about 20-25 puffs.
- Coat the Puffs: Roll each potato ball in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated for a crispy exterior.
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Bake the Puffs: Place the coated puffs on the baking sheet, spacing them out so they don’t stick together. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through for even cooking.
- Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving. These puffs are best enjoyed warm!
