Ingredients:
- 2 cups mashed potatoes (leftover works great!)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp butter, melted
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or thyme)
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- Salt & pepper to taste

- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden and slightly crispy.

📌 Note: These potato puffs are best enjoyed fresh, but you can reheat them in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-10 minutes to bring back their crispiness! 🔥 Want extra crunch? Sprinkle a little panko breadcrumbs on top before baking. 😋
💡 Tip: Add crumbled bacon or a pinch of paprika for extra flavor!
Would you like me to tweak it in any way? 😊
