# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 cup breadcrumbs
02 -
1 teaspoon garlic powder
03 -
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
04 -
1 teaspoon salt
05 -
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
06 -
2 large eggs
07 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
08 -
2 cups cold mashed potatoes, leftovers are perfect
# How to Make It:
01 -
Let those puffs chill for a few minutes after baking. Pass them around with your best sauce if you're into that.
02 -
Slide the baking sheet into your already heated oven. Cook for about 20 to 25 minutes until they're crispy and golden all over.
03 -
Space the crumb-coated balls out on baking paper so they've got room. Set them on top of a baking tray.
04 -
Cover every potato ball completely with breadcrumbs. Make sure none of the mix is peeking through.
05 -
Scoop out the potato mix and shape them into rounds the size of a golf ball. Use your hands or grab a spoon.
06 -
Toss the leftover potatoes, cheese, eggs, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder into a big bowl. Stir it all until it looks even.
07 -
Switch your oven on and heat it up to 400°F (200°C). Give it some time to get nice and hot before you start.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Stick with cold mashed potatoes—they make shaping way easier and help your puffs stay together in the oven.
