Vintage Cheesy Potato Puffs

Found this in my aunt’s recipe box from the 1960s. These disappeared in minutes at the church potluck.

Ingredients

• 3 cups mashed potatoes
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. In a large bowl, combine mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, egg, butter, salt, and pepper.
3. Mix until well blended.
4. Shape mixture into golf-ball-sized rounds and place on a lightly greased baking sheet.
5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden brown on top.
6. For extra browning, broil for 2–3 minutes at the end.
7. Serve warm.

Serving Suggestions

• Serve alongside roast chicken or beef.
• Dip in sour cream or garlic sauce.
• Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving.

Tip: Leftover mashed potatoes work perfectly for this recipe and give the puffs a fluffy texture inside with a crispy golden crust outside.
