These have been my favorite lately – I’ve made them 4 times already this month!

Cheesy mashed potato puffs are a delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes, offering a crispy, golden exterior with a soft, cheesy interior. This dish takes inspiration from French gougères, which are cheese puffs made with choux pastry. By incorporating mashed potatoes, we add a comforting, hearty element that makes these puffs perfect for any occasion. They’re a fantastic way to use up leftover mashed potatoes and transform them into something special that will impress your family and friends.
These cheesy mashed potato puffs pair wonderfully with a fresh green salad or a side of roasted vegetables, adding a nice contrast to their rich flavor. They also complement grilled meats or roasted chicken beautifully, making them a versatile side dish for any meal. For a more casual setting, serve them with a tangy dipping sauce or a dollop of sour cream for a delightful appetizer.
