Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups leftover mashed potatoes, cold
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, mix mashed potatoes, cheese, egg, flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until combined.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. Drop 12 mounds onto sheet, spaced apart.
  3. Bake 18–22 minutes until golden and crisp. Let rest on sheet for 2 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a plate and serve hot.

Notes

If your mashed potatoes are plain (no butter or cream added), stir in 1 tablespoon melted butter for richer flavor. These puffs are best within 30 minutes of baking.
