    What's ur fav leftover mashed potatoes dish

    I seemed to have way over done the mashed potatoes this year. I've got pounds and pounds of it. What are some of your favorite ways to reuse mashed potatoes as a different dish. I'll definitely make some shepards pie. What are your go to recipes?

      Bubble and Squeak! Mix in some leftover veggies, especially green beans and broccoli, then fry it up .... called bubble and squeak cause of the noise it makes!

          Trash! I hate leftover potatoes, to me they never reheat well. My wife will fry little patties of them, and they're ok to me that way I guess, kinda like little hashbrowns.

            Huskee - ask your wife to mix in some shredded Cheddar cheese and some chopped crisp bacon when she makes the little patties - you will become a believer.

            RonB, I saw something like that on line. Looks good!

          Wow, so many options. Mashed taters go with anything, almost as much as bacon. Pancakes, soup, casserole, quesadillas. I bet the interwebs have thousands of ideas out there. Whatever you do with them, as with everything else, I recommend you add bacon.

            I always enjoy making potato cakes out of leftover mashed taters. I add some stuff, sometimes... diced onions, green onions, crumbled bacon, diced ham, etc. Depends on what's on hand. Make 'em plain, or make 'em 'Loaded'! Have fun!

            Oops! Forgot CHEESE!!!! D'oh!!!!

              There is a local restaurant that shapes mashed potatoes into smallish sized balls and deep fries them. Awesome.

              I don't think adding crisp bacon and cheddar cheese would hurt either.

                My Dad used to mix them with "stuff" like onions and fry them. Yum Yum Yum.

                  This year our after-thanksgiving breakfast feast included a 50/50 mix of potatoes and dressing fried up a la potato pancakes (think latkes). Topped with a couple of over easy eggs and I can't imagine why I haven't had my 2nd heart attack !

                    That sounds really good.

                    Huskee, my friend did the mashed potatoes and he folded in some chopped kale. Hmmmm, I thought, until we tasted them. They were delicious, and I can only think of one other place I would toss kale....

                  Soup. Sautee some onions, toss in the celery heart diced up fine along with the leaves, some chicken stock, your left over smashed taters and voila! Easy tasty tater soup.

                    I didnt know it had a name! I fry some onions in a non stick pan, then mix in the potatoes and some cheese and fry 'em all up until crispy brown.

                      I've lived in the UK for over 7 years at various times in my life. I've hear the term, just never knew what it was.

                    Besides tater patties, I really enjoy a Greek dip called, Skordalia. Extremely simple to make. 1 cup leftover mashed potatoes, 4 garlic cloves, minced, 1/4 cup quality olive oil, (add more or less to preference), 2-3 Tbsps of white wine vinegar. Blend until smooth. Folks, you have to love garlic and olive oil for this one. Chill the dip. Serve cold and smear on fresh pita bread triangles. Adjust garlic, olive oil,and vinegar to taste. I don't have a recipe as this is just in my odd, and confused head.

                      Whoa! I might have to run this one by wifey as I just might have found another use for her leftover taters. Thanks for sharing!

                    This sounds weird, I know. But one of my favorites as a kind was to take a hotdog in a bun and add a scoop of mashed taters with some cheese on top and bake in the toaster oven until the cheese gets nice and melty and the bun is toasted. It was inspired by something we had for school lunch in elementary school where they fried up a slice of baloney with mashed potatoes and cheese on top. Pretty darn good, I must say, and I was a really picky eater.
