I don’t know about you, but my kitchen often ends up with a surplus of mashed potatoes after holidays or family dinners. Instead of shoving them into the fridge to become a sad, forgotten leftover, I’ve discovered a delicious solution: Leftover Mashed Potato Cheese Puffs! These little bites are crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and packed with cheesy goodness. They’re easy to whip up and perfect for snacks, appetizers, or even a fun side dish. Trust me; they’ll quickly become a favorite in your household!

These hearty cheese puffs not only help eliminate food waste, but they also provide a fun twist on traditional mashed potatoes. When you fry them up, the outside becomes golden-brown and crispy, while the inside stays soft and cheesy, spilling out flavors with every bite. Plus, they’re super versatile; you can include whatever spices or herbs you have on hand to customize them to your taste. I always find myself going back for seconds!
