Fat Rascals (Potato Cheese Puffs) image

This is an all-time favorite Saturday night snack at our house. I'd always made potato patties with any leftover mashed potatoes that I had, but when I came across Fat Rascals they sounded like a delicious variation. Now my family deliberately leaves some mashed potatoes in the bowl during dinner just so that I can make this treat the next day!

These were way too greasy for me. I think I'll try baking them next time instead of frying them.

I had some trouble getting the breading to stick to the potato mixture. I ended up having to add more flour.

These were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more seasoning next time.
