Mashed Potato Puff Recipe

Who doesn’t love mashed potatoes? Mashed potatoes with gravy, garlic mashed potatoes. and cheesy mashed potatoes are all delicious. My mom used to make mashed potatoes quite often and everyone loved them.

One of my brothers even got the nickname “Spuds” for a while. My mom typically made homemade mashed potatoes but my husband and kids prefer instant mashed potatoes so that is what I usually make.

    Stainless, . Recipes sounds yummy, Can you use Homemade mashed potatoes instead of instant. We do not eat instant in my house, lol. Any variations if you do use homemade.

      I’ve never tried making them with homemade mashed potatoes. You would have to reduce the liquids but I’m not sure how much. Best of luck! ~Tonia
