1. Prepare the Mixture
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine all ingredients. Mix well until everything is thoroughly incorporated.
Shape the Puffs: Using your hands, scoop out approximately 2 tablespoons of the mixture and shape into small balls or patties. Place them on a plate.
2. Fry the Cheese Puffs
Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Fry Puffs: Working in batches, carefully add the mashed potato puffs to the hot oil. Fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to transfer the puffs to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
3. Serve
Serve the mashed potato cheese puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce, such as marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or sour cream.
