These Leftover Mashed Potato Cheese Puffs are a delicious way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, transforming them into cheesy, crispy snacks that are perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Leftover Mashed Potatoes

  • 2 cups

Cheese

  • 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

Flour

  • 1/2 cup

Egg

  • 1 large egg

Seasonings

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: herbs like chives or parsley

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, combine your leftover mashed potatoes with shredded cheese, flour, egg, and your choice of seasonings. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  2. Shape the Puffs: Using your hands, scoop out portions of the mixture and shape them into small balls or patties, about the size of a golf ball. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Bake to Perfection: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake the cheese puffs for about 20-25 minutes or until they turn golden brown and crispy on the outside.
  4. Cool and Serve: Once baked, let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy them warm for the best cheesy experience!

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix: Mix just until combined to keep the puffs light and fluffy.
  • Uniform Size: Try to make each puff the same size for even cooking.
  • Chill the Mixture: If the mixture feels too soft, chill it for 30 minutes to make shaping easier.
  • Use Parchment Paper: This prevents sticking and makes clean-up a breeze.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Don’t hesitate to play around with spices and cheese varieties!
