What To Make With Leftover Mashed Potatoes – An Easy Potato Puff Recipe
Over the years my family has eaten a lot of potatoes. Â Mostly because we like them and they are filling. Â Partly because potatoes – even organic ones – are inexpensive. Â And there are so many varieties and colors. Â Have you tried purple fingerling potatoes? Â They are a mouthful of awesome roasted in the oven with olive oil and good salt.
You know what else is a mouthful of awesome? Â Potato puffs. Â They are super tasty and are a wonderful way to use leftovers. Â I occasionally make too many mashed potatoes. Â These potato puffs are a great way to use leftover mashed potatoes for a completely new and delicious dish.
Potato Puffs Are Great for Any Meal
Potato puffs are versatile and super frugal. Â They make great appetizers or a quick dinner and they’re especially yummy for breakfast on the go. Â I made them for an on-the-go dinner one night and then had a couple the next morning for breakfast. Â I thought they tasted even better the next morning.
How much fun would it be to make potato puffs from different color potatoes? I think I’ll make potato puffs with purple potatoes next.
I hope your family enjoys this fun and frugal recipe as much as mine does!
