Yes I am surprised as you that I am doing a savory post and I had leftover mashed potatoes. Shocking! Mashed potatoes are one of my favorite comfort foods along with macaroni and cheese (Mom's is the best!) and chocolate cake. Oh and flan and chili relleno burritos and french fries and ...focus Jenn focus.
Yes, Potato Puffs. Easy Easy. A little salt, pepper, flour, baking powder and an egg or two and there you have it. I added a little parmesan, too! These are so good, I kept eating them as I made them. I was so stuffed by the time I was done!
I made these for a little dinner party while my brother was in town. I even called my Mom to make sure I was making them right. We enjoyed them dipped in mustard BBQ Sauce along with cornbread, seans ribs and chicken and stewed green beans. The potato puffs were excellent! Sharing them with my bro and family, even better.
Potato Puffs
2 cups mashed potatoes (Our leftover potatoes were filled with roasted garlic- yum!)
1/2 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
2 eggs, beaten
2 TBS grated parmesan cheese (optional)
salt and pepper to taste.
salt and pepper to taste.
Oil for frying.
Other add ins - shredded cheese, shredded onions, chopped parsley, garlic... you get the idea.
Mix all ingredients together.
Heat oil in a deep-fryer or heavy deep pan to 365 degrees F (180 degrees C). Carefully drop the potato mixture by spoonfuls into the hot oil and fry until golden brown. I used a cookie scoop. Fry for about 5 minutes. Remove from oil to drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with salt or more parmesan cheese.
Enjoy!
