How to Make Golden Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Combine the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix chilled mashed potatoes, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, green onions (if using), garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Scoop the mixture with a spoon or your hands, forming small balls about the size of a golf ball.
Roll each puff in breadcrumbs to coat them generously.
Arrange the coated potato puffs on your prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart for baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
