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.
