I remember begging my mother to make extra mashed potatoes so we could have her potato puffs the next night. As a child I helped mom make them. My mother handed down her recipe to me. I lost it and couldn't remember the exact measurements. This recipe jarred my memory. The only difference is that I use less salt. Also as others said you can add diced onion, and/or bacon, etc. to add different dimensions. I use a small cookie scoop to make hush puppy size puffs. If you make them too big they won't get done inside or else you'll have to fry them way to brown. Other than the salt this recipe is the one! Thanks for posting this. Also, some reviewers mentioned the "dough" to be too runny or too thick. The viscosity of the raw product will depend on how thick you originally made your mashed potatoes.

These are pretty good! I am against using too much oil in my cooking, so I had to bake my puffs after frying them to a slight golden crisp. Either way they turned out really delicious!

This is so good (my wife wanted them again). I also added cheese, onion, bacon,and garlic as others have suggested. My potatoes were a bit dry, so I also added another egg. Having no children to worry about I added Worcestershire sauce, mustard and a dash of red pepper flakes. Fried in a bit of oil, these came out crispy and tasty, no need for a dip.

OH MY GOD!!! I could eat a truck bed full of these. I'd better not make mashed potatoes ever again, or I'll be making these left and right.

We enjoyed these a lot. Took advice from others and cut the flour in half. Added cheese, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Great!

I had a left over roast chicken with potatoes. Made sandwiches out of the chicken and didn't want to throw the potatoes away. So I threw them in the food processor and followed the instructions. A great success, even if a little greasy amd fattening.

These are the best way to use leftover mashed potatoes! The whole family loves them, and guests are always impressed. Using a small cookie scoop, such as the ones from Pampered Chef, makes for a neater presentation. They also reheat well in the oven, just like baking store-bought tater-tots. Yum. Thank you for this simple and delicious recipe.
