đź“ť Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to whip up a batch of delicious potato puffs:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (best if they’re cold or leftover!)
- 1 egg
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan work great)
- 2 tablespoons green onions or chives, finely chopped
- ÂĽ cup all-purpose flour (or breadcrumbs)
- Salt & pepper, to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder (optional)
- ½ teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Oil for frying (or you can bake/air fry)
👩‍🍳 How to Make Potato Puffs
1. Prepare the Mixture
In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, egg, cheese, green onions, flour (or breadcrumbs), and seasonings. The texture should be firm enough to scoop and shape—if it’s too soft, add a bit more flour or breadcrumbs.
2. Shape the Puffs
Use a spoon or cookie scoop to form small balls or oval-shaped puffs. About 1–1.5 tablespoons per puff works well. For extra crunch, roll them in breadcrumbs if desired.
3. Cook Them Up
You’ve got options:
- Frying: Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the puffs until golden brown on all sides, about 2–3 minutes per side.
