Ingredients
To make these delicious potato cheese puffs, you will need the following ingredients:
-
3 cups mashed potatoes
-
1 cup all-purpose flour
-
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
-
1/4 cup sour cream
-
2 tablespoons chopped chives
-
1/4 cup chopped parsley
-
2 eggs, beaten
-
Sea salt (to taste)
Optional additions:
-
shredded cheddar or mozzarella for extra cheesiness
-
garlic powder or black pepper for additional flavor
Preparation
Step 1 – Prepare the Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, Parmesan cheese, sour cream, chopped chives, parsley, and a pinch of sea salt.
Mix the ingredients well until everything is evenly combined and forms a soft dough-like mixture.
Next, add the beaten eggs to the bowl and gently mix them into the potato mixture until fully incorporated.
Step 2 – Shape the Puffs
Using your hands or a spoon, shape the mixture into small balls or patties. They should be about the size of a golf ball or slightly smaller.
Place the shaped puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper while you prepare the cooking method.
Cooking Options
One of the best things about this recipe is that you can either bake or fry the potato puffs depending on your preference.
Baking Method (Lighter Option)
-
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
-
Arrange the potato puffs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Bake for 15–20 minutes or until the puffs become golden brown and slightly crispy on the outside.
This method produces a lighter version while still keeping the delicious flavor.
Frying Method (Extra Crispy)
-
Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
-
Carefully place the potato puffs in the hot oil.
-
Fry them in small batches until they turn golden brown and crispy.
-
Remove from the oil and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil.
This method creates a richer, crunchier texture.
