Fast, tasty recipe. Added cheddar cheese and the kids went nuts over them! Easy on-hand ingredients made it very convenient for a quick side dish.

I did not like these, but they were so easy to make and my kids loved them! I'll probably be making them again soon.

These were a HUGE hit with my kids especially my extra finicky 2 yr old. I have had potato cakes before but these were the perfect size for little fingers. I added grated onion, minced garlic and 1/2 cup shredded cheese. They were grabbing them before they were cooled off! thanks for sharing

These were excellent! What a unique use of left over mashed potatoes. I added some grated cheddar cheese for added substance. Great for kids! Thanks.

I didn't care for these very much, but I'm giving them 4 stars because my son ate most of them. I used instant mashed potatoes and added about 1/2 a cup of shredded cheddar cheese like other reviewers. This made my mixture very sticky and hard to work with, which may have been why the batter tasted so strongly of oil. It soaked up quite a bit and we couldn't taste much of the potatoes. I also added some garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper...but couldn't taste it. Glad I gave this a try, but won't make again.

This is such a great idea for leftover potatoes. I don't have any kids...but I do watch over younger siblings and a niece...they love this stuff. I made it just because they were really hungry and I didn't have anything for them to eat. Now they ask my mom to make it for them. Thanks.

These were good but we thought the flour taste was a bit overwhelming. I think next time I would cut the flour back to about 1/3 cup. Also, I cut the salt amt. in half and should have added the entire amt. - they were a little bland. I added a little bit of shredded cheddar cheese, which was a nice addition. I will make these again but will tweak the recipe a little.

These are great. I never knew you could do that with mashed potatoes. I have only tried them plain so far, cant wait to add cheese! Thanks!!

I like to try recipes as they are written. This recipe brought back memories of what my mom use to make called, dofinkles , which kind of tastes like a potato donut hole. ( Back then they were somewhat bland, and we would dip them in pancake syrup or sour cream or sprinkled powdered sugar.) Today my two children and I made the potato puffs and they tasted as bland as they did 30 some years ago. I got such a good laugh, because I knew what to do, get out the pancake syrup, sour cream and powdered sugar and let the children decide on their own topping. We had alot of fun this rainy day, and the children enjoyed these as snacks. Family rating, 5 for fun, 4 for toppings 3 for potato puffs. Nice Memory. Thank You
