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

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. Coat the Puffs: Roll each potato ball in breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated for a crispy exterior.
  5. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. 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.
  7. Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let them cool for a minute before serving. These puffs are best enjoyed warm!
