Havarti Chive Potato Puff ~ Sumptuous Spoonfuls #potato #recipe

I had some leftover mashed potatoes in my fridge. I love when that happens; in fact, I have been known to make lots of extra potatoes just so I could have leftovers. So these leftovers were very intentional. I originally had plans to turn them into shepherd’s pie, but somehow never had enough time or energy to prepare the filling. This  cheesy potato puff was sooo much simpler. Just an egg, some shredded cheese and poof! A potato puff!


I had intended to make it two meals, but ended up devouring it all right on the spot. I think most people would consider this a side dish–but for me, it’s a meal. If it involves potatoes, well, that’s all I need. The fluffy egg adds protein and turns the texture of the potato into something almost souffle-like. It’s not quite as light as a souffle, but still quite lovely.

Ingredients

Scale

For 1-2 servings:

This sounds amazingly good! Can I ask, why seperate the egg before adding it? I’m sure it’s something I’ve already heard of ( but don’t practice), but I can’t remember.

Thanks Bernadette! I separated the egg because I whipped up the egg white to make it puffy.
