Pretty much everyone has leftover mashed potatoes after Thanksgiving. Here is a great idea for your leftovers.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Reinvent mashed potato leftovers with these cheesy puffs. They taste like savory, cheesy mashed potato cookies. Unusual and delicious. Leftover mashed potatoes are combined with egg, shredded cheese, flour, and chopped scallions. Then, they're topped with more cheese to ensure each bite is nice and cheesy. When baking they puff up slightly. We dunked ours in ranch dressing but they were delicious on their own too.
