Ingredients
- Leftover mashed potatoes – this recipe works best with plain or lightly flavored mashed potatoes.
- Eggs – you’ll want ones smaller in size, like a size large or medium.
- Cheddar cheese – either buy shredded or shred your own. You can also use a cheddar cheese blend.
- Cassava flour – this is a great gluten free “flour” to use as it’s not as mealy or dry as other types. It’s typically available in the natural or organic section of grocery stores, or you can order it online.
- Kosher salt – I use Diamond Crystal brand. If you’re going to use table salt, you’ll want halve the amount of salt used.
- Avocado oil – you can use another type of oil, just make sure it’s a high heat oil that’s also mild.
