Directions
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F. This step ensures that your Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs will bake to a lovely golden brown, providing the perfect crunch.
-
In a large bowl, mix together the chilled mashed potatoes with the large egg, shredded cheddar cheese, chopped chives, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well combined. This step not only blends the ingredients but also helps to create that tremendous consistency you want in your puffs.
-
Shape the mixture into small, 1-inch balls. This is a fun part of the process! Your hands will get a little messy, but that’s all part of cooking. The size is important to ensure they cook evenly, achieving a crispy outside while remaining fluffy inside.
-
Coat each ball generously with Parmesan cheese. This will add an extra layer of flavor and a beautiful crust when baked.
-
Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure to leave some space between them for even cooking. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. As they bake, your kitchen will be filled with tremendous aromas that will leave everyone eagerly awaiting these delightful treats.
-
Once they’re out of the oven, allow them to cool for a moment before serving. Enjoy your cheesy puffs while they are warm and fluffy!
