Note

For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese rather than pre-grated, as it melts more smoothly and has a richer flavor.

Ensure potatoes are thoroughly drained and dry before mashing to prevent the mixture from becoming too wet. If the mixture is too loose, add a little more egg substitute or cheese.

These puffs can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a 350ðF oven for 10-15 minutes to restore crispness.

For a heartier version, try adding chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley to the potato mixture.
