Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Russet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 cups Vegetable oil
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into evenly sized chunks. Place them in a large pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
Cook the potatoes until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and return to the pot.
Mash the potatoes until smooth, then stir in the butter, milk, shredded cheddar cheese, and salt. Mix until well combined and allow to cool slightly.
In a separate bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Stir the eggs and flour into the mashed potato mixture until smooth. Add ground black pepper to season.
Using a tablespoon or a small ice cream scoop, portion out the potato mixture and shape it into small balls.
Heat vegetable oil in a large heavy-bottomed pot or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the potato puffs to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot.
Fry the puffs for 2-3 minutes per batch, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Use a slotted spoon to remove the potato puffs from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain.
Serve immediately while warm, paired with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
