Ingredients

1 pkg Puff Pastry 2 sheets
2 cups Instant Mashed Potatoes prepared
½ cup French Fried Onions

Instructions

Thaw puff pastry according to the package directions. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Make the instant mashed potatoes according to package directions.
In a mixing bowl, add 2 cups of the instant mashed potatoes and the french fried onions, stirring gently to combine.
Ly out the puff pastry on your prepared baking sheet and roll out to a rectangle shape (or as close as you can get). Cut into 12 even pieces.
Plop about 1 tablespoon potato mixture into the center of each of the squares you've cut and then form into a little package by bringing opposite corners together and pinching the seams to close. Repeat with all the squares, and then the second piece of puff pastry.
Place the sealed potato puffs onto the parchment lined baking sheet and bake at 400 degrees until golden brown and puffy. About 20-25 minutes.
Let cool and enjoy!

Notes

Storage and Reheating Tips

Potato puffs freeze well, so you can make them ahead of time and just reheat as needed. Simply bake as directed, and then let cool before putting into an airtight container that's safe for the freezer.

To reheat, let defrost on the counter (about an hour) and then pop into the toaster oven or put on a baking sheet and bake for about 10 minutes at 350 degrees.
