Ingredients
- Cooked and mashed potatoes: 2 cups
- Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- All-purpose flour: 1/2 cup
- Large eggs: 2
- Milk: 2 tablespoons
- Garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
- Step 2: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, flour, eggs, milk, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Step 3: Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, drop rounded spoonfuls of the potato mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each puff.
- Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
- Step 5: Let the cheese puffs cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best served warm.
Notes
- Store cooled puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat leftover puffs in a 350°F oven for 5-10 minutes to restore their crispy texture.
- Serve these cheesy puffs with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce for extra flavor.
- For an extra cheesy flavor, use a sharp cheddar or a blend of your favorite cheeses.
