Leftover mashed potatoes cheese puffs recipe is an amazing recipe, make these crispy, creamy, cheesy leftover mashed potato puffs for a quick breakfast option.
The most interesting part of this recipe that I love so much is that it is very simple, classic and quick to prepare. Thanksgiving Sunday is always lit with this recipe. I found this recipe when I was in my second year in university. I wanted to try something different with my roommate who was a medical student. She barely had the time to eat…i would prepare this meal and keep it in the refrigerator so she can have it for breakfast before leaving the house.
I also prepared this recipe during my holiday. My favorite part of the entire holiday is the brimming refrigerator. I mean 2-3 days of eating leftovers (a.k.a. no cooking) is absolutely acceptable, which is fantastic . I believe that if we all looked deep within ourselves, we could all agree that the last thing we want to do after dining and/or making a massive turkey dinner is anything that requires time in the kitchen.
However, every year I make an exception for this recipe because mashed potatoes always outlast all other leftovers. They are invariably thrown out. With just a dump, a mix, and a plop, this recipe transforms garbage into a delectable grab-and-go breakfast.
Simple, innovative, and unquestionably tasty. Leftover mashed potatoes, sausage, cheese, eggs, chives, and a pinch of cayenne pepper make for a substantial breakfast. Mix everything together, pour it into a pan, and enjoy cute muffin-shaped delicacies for the entire week. I have tried this recipe and I know how perfect the leftover was, very yummy!
