1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

# Detailed Cooking Steps:
01 -
Let your puffs sit for a few minutes after they come out of the oven. Then go ahead and grab your favorite dip if you want and dig in.
02 -
Put your baking sheet in the hot oven and let everything get crisp and browned for about 20 to 25 minutes.
03 -
Set the coated rounds on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure you leave a gap between them so they cook up nice and even.
04 -
Take each ball and cover it with breadcrumbs all over until they look good.
05 -
Use your hands or a scoop to make the seasoned mash into balls about the size of a golf ball.
06 -
Dump the cold mashed potato, cheddar, eggs, flour, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a big bowl. Give everything a really good mix until it looks the same all the way through.
07 -
Crank your oven up to 400°F (200°C) and wait until it’s nice and hot.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
If you use chilled mashed potatoes, it’s way easier to keep the balls from falling apart when they bake.
