Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin, I first make sure my mashed potatoes are lump-free and smooth. If you’re using leftovers, just give them a good stir to revive them. In my mixing bowl, I combine the mashed potatoes with the chopped vegetables, cheese, flour, egg, salt, and pepper – it should come together beautifully. I always use my hands to mix everything, as it’s easier to feel the texture. It’s a bit sticky but manageable! (See the next page below to continue steps…)
