Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs

Tips & Variations

• Add-ins: Mix in cooked bacon bits, sautéed onions, or chopped herbs for extra flavour. For a spicy version, stir in a pinch of cayenne or diced jalapeños.
• Make ahead: The mixture can be prepared a day ahead and stored covered in the fridge. Scoop and bake when ready to serve.
• Storage: Leftover puffs can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through and crispy again.
• Freezer-friendly: Freeze cooked puffs in a single layer, then store in a freezer bag. Reheat straight from frozen in the oven at 375°F (190°C) for 10–15 minutes.

Whether you’re repurposing leftovers or making a fresh batch of mashed potatoes just for these, Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs are a deliciously smart way to use staple ingredients in a new, crave-worthy form.
