Crispy Potato Puffs
Golden outside, soft and light inside — an easy family snack.
These potato puffs are a simple snack my kids have always enjoyed. They’re made with mashed potato, flour and eggs, then piped into small shapes and fried until light golden. I like serving them warm with a simple ketchup and sweet chilli dipping sauce.
