Ingredients
- Cooked and mashed potatoes: 2 cups
- All-purpose flour: 1/2 cup
- Shredded cheddar cheese: 1 cup
- Large egg: 1
- Garlic powder: 1/2 teaspoon
- Salt: 1/4 teaspoon
- Black pepper: 1/4 teaspoon
- Vegetable oil: for frying
Instructions
- Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flour, cheddar cheese, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until a uniform dough forms.
- Step 2: Heat vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C). The oil level should be at least 2 inches deep.
- Step 3: While the oil is heating, form the potato mixture into small, bite-sized balls or puffs, approximately 1 inch in diameter.
- Step 4: Carefully drop the potato puffs into the hot oil, being careful not to overcrowd the fryer. Fry in batches if necessary.
- Step 5: Fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the puffs are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Step 6: Serve immediately and enjoy.
