For enhanced flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the mashed potato mixture. If your mashed potatoes are particularly wet, you may need to add an extra tablespoon of flour to achieve the desired consistency. Serve immediately for the best crispy texture. Pairs perfectly with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of your favorite dipping sauce. Feel free to experiment with different cheese varieties, such as Gruyere or pepper jack, to customize the flavor profile.
