Potato Puffs

Published by:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees.

Spoon very thick mashed potatoes (or cauliflower mashed “potatoes”) into a piping bag or into a ziplock bag, then cut the corner off. Pipe onto a buttered baking sheet in whatever shape you like. Bake until golden brown.

Even quicker – scoop potatoes with an ice-cream scoop onto buttered baking sheet and bake.

Variations

Before spooning into the piping bag stir one of the following into the mashed potatoes:

  • dairy or dairy-free Parmesan cheese before baking
  • pesto
  • any pureed vegetable such as broccoli, cauliflower, celery, spinach …
  • chopped vegetables
  • veggie bacon bits
