Do you eat mashed potatoes? We enjoy them in our home quite often. They are delicious, but the leftovers are even better. These are my five favorite uses for leftover mashed potatoes.
Potato Cakes
Add an egg, flour and cheese, form into patties and fry. Delicious! Try this recipe.
Refrigerator Dough
This is such a versatile dough. A few recipes you can make with it are hotdog buns, dinner rolls, bread sticks and cinnamon buns. Try this recipe.
Gnocchi
Use leftover mashed potatoes to make homemade gnocchi. Try this recipe.
Shepherd’s Pie
This delicious dish is easy to make and to customize with the flavours that you like. This is classic comfort food in my home. Try this recipe.
Mashed Potato Puffs
Mix your favorite fixings in to these scrumptious melt in your mouth puffs. So good! Try this recipe.
There are so many other ways to use the leftovers. Try making fish cakes, kofta, colcannon, mashed potato soup or croquettes.
As a kid growing up, there were never left over mashed potatoes. There were 6 of us! Great idea.
Wishes for tasty dishes, Linda
Sometimes I make extra, just to have some to make these dishes with! Have a great week Linda.
Hi Debbie! I found your site through the Monday Madness LinkUp party. I’m always wondering what to do with leftover mashed potatoes, so I’ve bookmarked and Pinned your post for future reference! Nice to “meet” you and I look forward to more posts.
I hope the post is helpful to you Jeanne! Welcome and have a great week.
Great ideas here! I hate throwing away food so this is a great post to refer to!
Great ideas! I’ve only tried the Shepherd’s Pie before. Thanks for sharing with us at the Merry Monday link party. I hope you’ll join us again next week. Sharing your post on Twitter!
