– Puff pastry sheets (thawed)
– Mashed potatoes
– Grated cheddar cheese
– Salt
– Pepper
– Garlic powder
– Onion powder
– Dried herbs
– Egg wash (beaten egg + water)

Once you have gathered all the ingredients, it’s time to start preparing the puff pastry sheets.

Step 1: Preparing the mashed potatoes

To begin with, the mashed potatoes are the most essential part of the puff pastry sheets as it is the core ingredient. You can either prepare the mashed potatoes from scratch, boil some potatoes, add milk, butter, salt, and pepper, and mash them well. Alternatively, you can use leftover mashed potatoes from any previous meal.

Step 2: Preparing the potato filling

Mix the mashed potatoes with grated cheddar cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried herbs. The filling should be well combined and should not have any lumps.

Step 3: Preparing the puff pastry sheets

Unwrap the thawed puff pastry sheets and lay them flat on a lightly floured surface. Cut the puff pastry sheets into squares or rectangles. The size will depend on your preference.

Step 4: Filling the puff pastry sheets

Place a tablespoon of the potato filling in the middle of each square or rectangle of puff pastry sheet. Ensure that you leave enough room to seal the edges. Brush the edges with egg wash and fold the puff pastry over the filling to form a triangular or rectangular pocket. Press the edges with a fork to seal the pocket.

Step 5: Baking the puff pastry sheets

Preheat the oven to 200°C/390°F. Place the potato-filled puff pastry sheets on a baking tray lined with parchment paper. Brush the top of the puff pastry sheets with egg wash, and sprinkle some herbs and grated cheese on top.

Bake the potato-filled puff pastry sheets for 15-20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy. Keep an eye on them while they bake. Once they are ready, take them out of the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes.

Step 6: Serving the baked potato puff pastry sheets

You can serve these potato puff pastry sheets as an appetizer or a snack at any party or gathering. These pastry sheets go well with dipping sauces such as sour cream, ketchup, or cheese dip. You can also serve them with a side salad to give the plate some balance.
