Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, add leftover mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, all-purpose flour, and egg. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs. Mix until well combined, about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Scoop out a handful of mixture and form into a ball or patty, roughly the size of a golf ball. Place each shaped puff on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Ensure the baking sheet is well lined with parchment paper. Arrange the puffs evenly on the sheet.
  4. Bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
  5. Remove from the oven and let cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
