Crispy Potato Puffs
293
Whether you're watching the game, hosting a party, or just need to change up your dinner side, these Crispy Potato Puffs are the perfect side dish for any occasion. The real star of the side dish show are the Minute Mashers™ from Green Giant™ Fresh potatoes! These farm-fresh potatoes are mashed right in the bag and make your home cooked meals so much easier.
All you have to do is pop the whole package in the microwave for seven minutes then, using oven mitts, smash and mash the whole mashed potatoes into your desired mashed potato texture. Then just pour from the bag and enjoy!
Try mixing up the ingredients by adding sun dried tomatoes, dried herbs or different cheeses. If you make this recipe, leave us a comment and let us know!
Ingredients
- 1 package Buttery Salt & Pepper Minute Mashers™
- 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
- Microwave Buttery Salt & Pepper Minute Mashers™ according to package instructions. Mash well with oven mitts to create a very creamy mashed potato texture.
- Add cheese to mashed potatoes and mix well. Let cool slightly.
- Lightly beat eggs, add salt and pepper. Place breadcrumbs on a plate.
- With lightly floured hands, form 1 tablespoon of potato into a ball. Dip into egg, coating lightly. Then coat with breadcrumbs. Place ball onto baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mashed potatoes. Cover potatoes with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour before baking.
- Preheat oven to 425°F. Spray potatoes with cooking spray. Bake for 15 minutes. Turn potatoes and bake for 7-10 minutes more or until golden brown.
Looks crispy
Minute Mashers🤗
Absolutely.
Love to try new recipes
would have to use gluten-free bread crumbs, but these look really good
these tasty bites are one of those fun foods that will disappear for a number of reasons. They are as good as they look, a unique shape with the ability to be called ” finger food”, and what a hit with kids. The best thing since french fries.
This is something fast to make.
I’m making these!!
A recipe.with potatoes is always a hit in our house!
They are so very, very yummy; but bad to make, because I can’t stop eating them! I know I gain weight every time I do make them, have to double the recipe to make up for what I chomp down on just while waiting on my guests lol
My family would enjoy the potato puffs!
another fun snack food to steer the kids from their usual junk food after school
Yum!
This is simple to make.

Not too hard to make.
Crisp…
Everyone loves a great easy recipe for the family.
This looks delicious.
Fab
Much better than frozen tater tots!!
potato puffs are a big hit with the kids so to mix in extra healthy vitamins, which I normally do to a recipe, is advantageous, like spinach. They still eat their potato puffs !!!
Our kids , little ones , love this . Thanks ! for the recipe.
Thanks for sharing.
so fresh content
Could become a family favorite.
Looks wonderful
good name, I bet the kids can make a mess with this one. Good party food. IF OUTSIDE
Looks yummy!
Taste great
So cool
If the family likes it, next step is being in regular dinner rotation.
I said, Crispy!
Very easy to make.
So good
Looks so tasty,I will make this dish tonight to go along with the fried fish.
Im in the mood for this finger food
another fun side dish, or snack
Sounds delicious and great for an appetizer during the football game

Love recipes that save me time!
What do I do with the rags I used to clean up the PFA’s?
This is great
Awesome recipe
Something easy to make
Huff and PUFF this one out and you will make it often !
I love crispy potatoes
Then you for the easy to cook recipe.
If I drank a cup of PFA’s once a week, could I live into my 60’s?

What a fun snack ! You could have a good food fight with these, (and keep them and eat them)
How does your family feel about the work you do that are putting people at risk of getting diseases ang have no health coverage?
Looks like a great tasting dish.
What a treat!
Very nice
This is easy to make.
These little balls look like a fun food fight for kids, but I know they are too delicious to have such fun with. I would be inclined to try them with a dipping cheese or alfredo sauce. I’m always thinking outside the box
Amazing!
Do you consider yourself as a whistleblower?
Huge fan of these ..and, they actually offer real nutrients…YES
I’m gaining too much weight trying out all of these recipes lol
Looks good
Kids love these!

Why have you not come forward to say we know PFA’s do exist?
Interesting recipe

A delicious recipe.
Adore!

Saving this recipe for future reference.
Looks good enough to eat
Going to try these tomorrow
Why do you not discuss PFA’s in any of your articles?
Looks delicious.
Looks easy to make
These look great, and also a good idea for little “helping” hands to become interested in the process of the meal.

Great finger good.
These are a hit with the little ones, instead of frozen fries or a full on baked potato, these can be pre prepped in the am to simply pop in the oven or air fryer or toaster oven at dinner and maybe throw some in freezer bags and toss in the freezer in proportions as well to save even more time during time crunches and burn out days. We don’t lean into too much eating out, it’s too expensive and we eat way better foods at home anyway. Maybe you could even fry these and flatten them with the spatula and turn them into a hash brown and serve it with a grits and eggs for fast hot breakfast.
were can I find minuet mashers I shop at walmart but can never find them
Oh my Goodness! Such a treat! Yum!!
Great idea ! Going to do this !
