Creating Mashed Potato Cheese Puffs is an enjoyable experience when you follow these simple steps:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, shredded cheese, and egg. Mix until well blended.
2. Add flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Using your hands, form the mixture into small balls or patties, approximately 1-2 inches in diameter.
4. In a deep frying pan, heat enough oil over medium heat to submerge the puffs.
5. Once the oil is hot, carefully drop the potato balls into the oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
6. Fry each puff for about 3-4 minutes or until they turn golden brown on all sides.
7. Carefully remove the puffs using a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
8. Continue with the remaining puffs until all are cooked.
9. Allow the cheese puffs to cool slightly before serving.

These easy-to-follow steps will guide you through making these delicious puffs without any hassle.
