If you’re struggling to find creative ways to use leftover ham and mashed potatoes (other than simply throwing them away), I’ve got a simple recipe that you’ll absolutely love!
These Ham Potato Puffs are simple to make. Besides your leftover ham and mashed potatoes, all you are some buttermilk biscuits, shredded cheese and a couple of spices. These “puffs” actually remind me of my BBQ Beef Muffins.
Cans of refrigerated biscuits typically yield eight biscuits, which is the number of ham potato puffs this recipe will produce. Alternatively, you could roll out the dough to make 12 biscuits, but I prefer the thickness of the biscuit when making eight. It helps keep the mashed potato filling in place.
In addition to serving these as an Appetizer, they also make a perfect grab & go breakfast for when you don’t have time to sit down and eat Breakfast. I also like to serve these with a little side of salsa. Yummy!
