Step-by-Step Instructions for Cheesy Mashed Potato Puff Bites
- Start by boiling peeled potatoes in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and mash until smooth, adding salt and pepper to taste. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, combine warm mashed potatoes with shredded cheese and chopped green onions. Crack in the egg and mix until creamy and smooth.
- Shape the mixture into small balls or puffs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring uniform sizes.
- Roll each puff in breadcrumbs and press lightly to coat evenly. Return to the baking sheet.
- Heat a skillet with 1/4 inch oil at 350°F. Fry the bites for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown, or bake at 400°F for 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Remove the bites and drain on paper towels. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
Ensure mashed potatoes are well-drained and avoid overmixing the ingredients to keep the texture light and fluffy. For unique flavors, experiment with different cheeses or spices.
