Notes
Use cold mashed potatoes for better shaping and texture. Don’t skimp on the cheese; it’s what makes these puffs so deliciously gooey. For a crisper exterior, brush the tops with melted butter before baking. Feel free to experiment with add-ins like bacon bits or jalapeños for extra flavor! Store cooled puffs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or freeze them for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for best results. Enjoy!
