Potato Puffs
Here's a delightful way to use leftover mashed potatoes! These puffs are easy to make, and my family prefers them to french fries. Children enjoy them plain, buttered or drizzled with honey or maple syrup. My grandkids expect Potato Puffs on the menu whenever they come to my house!
6 Servings
Prep/Total Time: 30 min.
Ingredients
2 eggs
1 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
Oil for deep-fat frying
Directions
In a bowl, beat eggs. Add potatoes. Combine the flour, baking powder
and salt; stir into potato mixture.
In a large saucepan or kettle, heat about 1 in. of oil to 375°.
Drop mixture by heaping teaspoonfuls, four or five at a time, into
hot oil. Fry 2-3 minutes or until golden brown, turning once. Watch
closely since they brown quickly. Drain on paper towels. Serve
immediately. Yield: 1-1/2 to 2 dozen.
