Ingredients
- Cooked and mashed potatoes: 2 cups
- All-purpose flour: 1/2 cup
- Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- Grated Parmesan cheese: 1/4 cup
- Egg: 1 large
- Garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Step 2: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 3: Roll the potato mixture into small, 1-inch balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each puff.
- Step 4: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy.
- Step 5: Let the cheese puffs cool slightly before serving. Enjoy hot!
Notes
- Store cooled cheese puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftover puffs in a 350°F (175°C) oven or air fryer for best crispness.
- Serve these cheesy delights with a dollop of sour cream or a sprinkle of fresh chives for added flavor.
- For extra fluffy puffs, ensure your mashed potatoes are completely cool before mixing in the other ingredients.
