Ingredients
  

  • - 2 cups of mashed potatoes leftover or freshly made
  • - 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • - 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese
  • - 2 large eggs
  • - 1/4 cup of milk
  • - 2 green onions chopped
  • - Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Step-by-Step Instructions:
  • Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a large bowl, combine the leftover mashed potatoes, shredded cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, milk, chopped green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  • Using a spoon or cookie scoop, take a tablespoon-sized portion of the mixture and shape it into a puff.
  • Arrange the puffs on a greased baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  • Bake the puffs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown.
  • Serve hot and enjoy every cheesy bite!
  • What to Serve Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs With:
  • These puffs are fantastic on their own, but why not make a meal out of them? Pair your Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs with a fresh garden salad and some succulent grilled chicken, and you’ve got a feast! Alternatively, serve them alongside a bowl of homemade soup for a cozy touch that warms your heart. And if you’re feeling fancy, drizzle some sour cream or even a tangy dipping sauce on the side—your tastebuds will sing with joy!
  • Top Tips for Perfecting Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs:
  • To truly perfect your Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs, here are a few tips. First, consider using fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary in the mixture to add an aromatic twist. You can even experiment with different types of cheese such as mozzarella or gouda for a unique flavor. When shaping the puffs, ensure they are well-packed so they hold together while baking. Lastly, if you have leftover puffs, a quick reheating in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes will have them tasting fresh and delicious again!
  • Storing and Reheating Tips:
  • If you have any leftovers (which may be unlikely because they’re so good!), you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze the puffs before baking. Simply place them on a baking sheet, freeze until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. When you're ready to enjoy them, bake straight from frozen; just add a few extra minutes to the cooking time. These Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs are a versatile dish that keeps on giving!
