Kathy's Duchess Potato Puffs With Cheese

This recipe is great for leftover mashed potatoes. From the recipe collection of Bird's sister Kathy. I have also made it using instant mashed potatoes.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 12 puffs

Ingredients

• 2  cups mashed potatoes (leftovers with no skins in the mash)
• 1  teaspoon garlic powder
• 1⁄2 teaspoon paprika (plus more to garnish)
•  salt, to taste
•  black pepper, to taste
• 2  eggs
• 1⁄2 cup  grated cheddar cheese (or parmesan)

Directions

1. Mix all ingredients well. Cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours (up to 2 days). Note: if using leftover mashed potatoes, do this the evening you make them fresh, and then refrigerate the mixture.
2. Preheat oven to 375°F Using a piping bag with a large decorative tip (or cut the tip from the bottom of a Ziploc bag), pipe approximately 1/4 cup each of the mixture onto a parchment lined baking sheet 1 inch apart.
3. Spray rosettes with non-stick cooking spray and sprinkle with a bit more paprika. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until heated through.
