For extra flavor, consider adding grated cheddar cheese, chopped green onions, cooked bacon bits, or corn kernels to the potato mixture. Ensure the oil temperature is consistent for even cooking and a perfect golden-brown color. Do not overmix the batter; a slightly lumpy batter will result in lighter puffs. Adjust seasoning to taste. A pinch of black pepper or garlic powder can add a nice depth of flavor.
