This meal is my partner’s favorite. We eat one serving and he immediately wants another.

Southern style cheesy herb mashed potato puffs are a delightful twist on the classic mashed potatoes we all love. These fluffy, cheesy bites are perfect for family gatherings or as a comforting side dish for a cozy dinner. The combination of creamy potatoes, sharp cheddar cheese, and fragrant herbs makes these puffs irresistible. They’re a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes, and kids love their fun, bite-sized shape. Whether you’re hosting a holiday meal or just want to add a special touch to your weeknight dinner, these potato puffs are sure to please.

These cheesy herb mashed potato puffs pair wonderfully with a variety of main dishes. Try serving them alongside roasted chicken or a juicy steak for a hearty meal.

For a true Southern experience, serve them with a side of collard greens or baked beans.
