Steps:
- Place a rack in middle of oven; preheat to 400°. Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and pour in cold water to cover by 1". Season generously with salt and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until potatoes are very tender, 25-30 minutes. Drain potatoes and let sit until cool enough to handle.
- Peel potatoes, then place in a large bowl and mash with a potato masher or fork until mostly smooth with some pea-size pieces remaining.
- Heat oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium. Cook cumin seeds, mustard seeds, and asafetida, stirring, until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add chile and ginger and cook, stirring, until softened, about 30 seconds. Stir in coriander, turmeric, and 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Diamond Crystal or 2¾ tsp. Morton kosher salt; cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add potatoes and mix until spiced oil is thoroughly incorporated. Return potato mixture to bowl and let cool.
- Stir cheese, cilantro, lime juice, garam masala, and sugar into potato mixture. Taste and season with more salt if needed.
- Unfold puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut into eighteen 2½" squares. Roll out each square to about 4½", then divide between 2 parchment-lined baking sheets.
- Working one at a time, brush edges of pastry with egg. Spoon a heaping tablespoonful of potato mixture onto center of each square. Fold pastry in half by bringing one of the top corners up and over filling and matching it up with the opposite bottom corner to make a triangle. Pinch edges together to seal, then crimp with a fork. Brush tops with egg. Chill puffs 15 minutes.
- Bake puffs until pastry is golden brown and cheese is melted, 25-30 minutes. (Some cheese may ooze out and that is okay.)
- Serve puffs with ketchup, green chutney, or hot sauce for dipping.
Tips:
- To make the perfect cheesy spam puff, use a good quality spam. Look for a brand that is made with 100% pork shoulder and has a nice smoky flavor.
- Be sure to cook the spam until it is crispy. This will help it to hold its shape in the puff.
- For a cheesy spam puff that is extra gooey, use a sharp cheddar cheese. You can also add other cheeses, such as Monterey Jack or mozzarella, to create a more complex flavor.
- If you want a spam puff that is more crispy, use a puff pastry sheet that is made with butter. You can also brush the puff pastry sheet with melted butter before baking it.
- Serve the cheesy spam puffs hot out of the oven. They are best enjoyed with a dipping sauce, such as ketchup or mustard.
Conclusion:
Cheesy spam puffs are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks.
