Baked puff potatoes are a tasty side dish, easy to make and with few ingredients.
Like all potato side dishes, they are perfect for accompanying meat, fish, or cheese dishes, they are soft and fluffy, and they melt in your mouth. They might be confused with duchess potatoes, but they have a softer and fluffier texture due to the presence of milk and egg whites, making them equally soft and irresistible.
