I love that this recipe uses puff pastry. It makes the cheese twists so light and flaky. I've also tried making them with crescent roll dough, and they're just as good.

These cheese twists are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. I just add some cheese, herbs, and spices, and then roll them up in puff pastry.

These cheese twists are so versatile. You can serve them with marinara sauce, ranch dressing, or even just ketchup. They're also great for dipping in soup.
