Variations and Serving Suggestions
Add-Ins: For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding crumbled bacon, diced jalapeños, or a mix of different cheeses like mozzarella and Gouda. These additions can customize the puffs to suit different tastes or add a bit of heat if desired.
Substitutions: If you’re looking for a healthier twist, you can substitute half of the mashed potatoes with mashed cauliflower. Additionally, using low-fat cheese can reduce the overall fat content while still providing a creamy texture.
Serving: Cheesy Mashed Potato Puffs are incredibly versatile. They pair well with a light garden salad for a balanced meal or complement a main dish like grilled steak or roasted chicken. They also make a delightful addition to a buffet or party spread, where their bite-sized nature makes them easy to enjoy without fuss.
