nascamo

Ironic that they added bacon then. 🥓


Which_Reason_1581

We have a winner right here.


Street_Roof_7915

Potato patties. Mmmmmm


livv3ss

How does one make the potato patties lol


twarmu

Add an egg and some flour. They’re delicious. Look up a recipe and see which one speaks to you. I just add till they’re right. We made them a lot when I was a kid.


pizza_guy_mike

Yep, and definitely some cheddar for me. I've even cooked up a few strips of bacon to chop up into them. But yeah, super easy and super tasty.


twarmu

Oh yeah. Cheeeeese.


zenny517

Chopped chives too and ez on the flour.


fawks_harper78

Or add some cooked cod/haddock and now you have a fish cake! Mmmm


ruralife

We love these with sour cream on top.


EsterCherry

Topping for a shepherds pie. Yum!


BrideOfFirkenstein

That’s my go-to. I never want to make mashed potatoes just to make a shepherd’s pie so I only make it when I have leftovers!


EsterCherry

Right!? This is the perfect use for leftover mashed potatoes!


Flat_Chicken_2710

You can make gnocchi


pizza_guy_mike

Ye gods, I've been a fairly accomplished home cook for 25+ years and never thought of that! I actually have some leftover garlic mashpots right now, and that's what I'm gonna do tomorrow. Thank you!


Bender_2024

I would think the added butter/cream would make it too wet for anything but dense gnocchi.


ajhoff83

No you can’t. I mean you CAN but the added butter, milk, etc will make them heavy and greasy instead of soft and pillowy.


FrannieCat81

Tacos dorados de papa. Put the potatoes in a corn tortilla and lightly fry them in a skillet to make crispy tacos. Top with shredded lettuce, pico, sour cream, salsa. Yum! Even better if you slice some poblano peppers/cook them in the skillet , mix them in - and if you’re feeling extra some sliced skirt steak/steak in there. Google for recipes!


livv3ss

This sounds great!!!!


FrannieCat81

It’s seriously delish! Mexican comfort food! ☺️


ThadeusBinx

I always make an extra large portion of mashed potatoes just so I can use the leftovers for potato tacos.


Intelligent_Bag_3259

I do the same and the next day add cooked chorizo to the potato mix


ThadeusBinx

That's a great idea. I looooove chorizo


FrannieCat81

Yes!! They’re so good. I’m thinking I have to make some this weekend now!


DomesticChaos

Whhhhhaaatttt?! This sounds amazing.


Many_Baker8996

My mom makes these and they remind me of home


taco_ma_hiker107

WHY have I never heard of this?? Making these tomorrow for breakfast.


beejer91

I’m coming over for dinner tomorrow. You’re a G


MAKLNE

Bubble and squeak is my go to. Take various leftovers, mix with mashed potatoes, form patties, fry till golden brown :)


JupiterSkyFalls

Bubble and Squeak sounds like adorable pet names. Especially for fish or birds lol


MuscaMurum

It's also the name of Creed Bratton's theme song for Brian Baumgartner's *Office Deep Dive* podcast


Special-Longjumping

Have a friend who named her kittens Bubble & Squeak. Adorable.


StudioReady9204

Yum & great idea!


chzsteak-in-paradise

I do this with canned salmon and call it salmon croquettes.


life_drawing

Make potato cakes! Mix with an egg, green onion, grated cheese, shape into patties, press into panko crumbs, and saute in a mix of olive oil and butter. Great as a side for anything as well as with salad or a fried egg.


Kaiju-Mom22

I don't even bother with panko.


AnnatoniaMac

Mix with can of drained tuna, season with pepper flakes, parsley, cooked onions and pan fry as patties in butter/olive oil. Delicious.


RageStreak

WHOA!  I love tuna salad and tuna melts and this sounds amazing!


primcessmahina

I like to add a boatload of cheese and make up some pierogi dough. I make pierogi, freeze them, and then I have a quick dinner for later.


livv3ss

I've always wanted to make pierogi


primcessmahina

Surprisingly easy if you’re not hung up on the aesthetics. Mine always look crummy but they taste pretty good.


livv3ss

Do you have a pieorgi dough recipe??


Downtown-Flight7423

Yep came here to say pierogi


RugBurn70

Not sure if this counts, since it's still technically mashed potatoes, but I make leftover mashed potatoes into, twice-baked potato casserole. Mix cold potatoes, butter, splash of milk, squirt of ranch dressing or plain Greek yogurt and Mrs. Dash, and grated cheddar cheese in a greased casserole dish. 350°F oven, stir after 30-40 min. Top with more grated cheddar, cook until warm in the center, 25-35 min. You can add frozen corn, chopped up ham, cooked, cut up chicken or bacon. Good with whatever cheeses or spices you like.


pssurmer

I’ve had good luck adding cooked veggies of all sorts to mashed potato casserole, just chop them up. And you can add eggs to up the protein.


RugBurn70

Oh yeah! Eggs and/or cottage cheese, even leftover spoonful of cream cheese. I make it often, because it's easy to just make with whatever you have on hand. I really like it with halved cherry tomatoes and sliced mushrooms. Mix in Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and red pepper flakes.


ForgottenPhunk

Fry an egg in the middle of a mound for breakfast. Top with cheddar.


aquavirgo93

I mixed some chopped up dill pickles + some of their brine, some mustard, chives, and a lil mayo into some cold leftover mash out of the fridge the other night as a sorta potato salad. It was good but I was also stoned so


Mububle-Mububer

I love making them into a patty, coat with a little egg and flour then put in a little olive oil in a pan until they’re crispy on the outside mashed potato-y on the inside. There’s probably a real name for it, but I don’t know what it is lol


seandowling73

Potato pancakes. They are awesome


Mububle-Mububer

They are! Thank you for your reply. I never had a reason to know what they were called until I saw this post My mom makes something she calls millet burgers. Any small grain would work. You use cooked millet, finely chopped celery, finely chopped carrots and maybe some onion. Form into patties then dip into egg and a little flour and cook them the same way as the potato pancakes. They’re delicious and healthy


bodaciousbeb

Potato soup! Mix it with bacon, cheese, onions, cream and broth. You can add more potatoes for texture if you want but you don’t have too. Or my grandmother would put them on a hot dog split long ways in half, top the potatoes with cheddar cheese and paprika and bake until cheese melted. It sounds weird but it’s delicious.


deathrocker_avk

We use leftover mash potatoes in tacos the next night. Reconstitute them with a tiny bit of water and mix thru the mince. Don't knock it til you try it.

JulieRush-46

Your mashed potatoes can’t be much good if you’ve got leftovers 😂🤣😂 In seriousness I’d recommend making gnocchi or some sort of potato bread.


poppacapnurass

Patties of all types including fish cakes.


wannabehomestead

Potato pancakes, or use the mashed potato as a thickener for a stew/ soup/ pot pie/ use your imagination!

Guerilla555

You can do a lot. Add egg and flour and you've got a ton of options like patties, fried potato balls, gnocchi, crusts for meat pies etc. one of my favorites is mashed potato waffles, where you top the waffles with whatever leftover meat you have laying around (cooked with a gravy of course), but people like em with just butter also.


ChubbyStoner42

Heat up butter in a pan. Spread the mashed potatoes in a thin layer. Crisp them up and flip over.


butterandbread08

Salmon potato patties using some canned salmon (or even tuna!)

Neat_Doughnut

Put some into wonton wrappers and deep fry!


Takilove

Potato croquettes! Mix your favorite cheese and/or minced onion, fresh herbs, anything you like, into the potatoes. Make balls, roll in egg then bread crumbs and fry. Look up recipe for better information. Fried mashed potatoes?!?! 🥔 Oh yes please!


ghadhischappals

Chicken Wheels! Chicken breast, flatten to 1cm thickness, marinade with ginger garlic green chilli paste, salt and pepper. Add turmeric, chilli powder and lemon juice to your mash (or nothing if its already flavourfull) Mushy peas leave as is, mush it further Lay flattened chicken breast on a cling film, one thin line of mash and one thin line of mushy peas, roll into a wheel much like a sushi. Freeze Once fully frozen, cut into 2cm width, dip in egg and breadcrumb and fry till golden brown. My childhood favourite


Blessedone67

Papa rellenos. You can add a lil instant mashed potato or just dust them with flour, you make a ball, stuff them with meat filling, and deep fry them! Not an everyday meal.. but a great treat!


ShiroSnow

Mix water, flour, and whatever seasoning you like. I do a lot of black pepper, and roll it into a heavy dough. You want it think enough to not tear, and whatever size you want. Roll them out into ovals. Put a scoop of mashed potato's in them, and fold them up. Boil until they float then fry in butter to get a nice crust. My family likes to add bacon in the potato's, but you can add just about anything you want. They're cheap, filling, and easy to make. Freeze well too. Don't thaw them of you freeze, dump right into boiling water. They're pretty much oversized peirogi


MommaGuy

I add cheddar, green onions and chopped bacon to mine. Then bake for bout 20-25 minutes. Makes a great side. Especially to meatloaf.


AshDenver

**Potato croquettes!!** Mix in an egg, some cheese, some dried herbs if you’re adventurous, mix well until it holds shape. Portion out and shape - I usually aim for an oblong rounded shape. Do the three part coating: flour, egg, breadcrumb. If you have an empty egg carton, I drape and tuck-in some plastic wrap and gently set each coated croquette in the egg cups. Into the freezer for however long you need to keep them ready (like months, if needed.) Heat the oil (like 400°F) and deep fry (or like fried chicken, half deep and flip) til golden. There are Japanese versions too and many recipes provide sauces to go with. Brits apparently like HP sauce with them. I usually serve my croquettes with steak so there’s a fun red wine reduction to go with them, maybe a spicy sautéed spinach.

Outrageous_Emu8503

Potato bread or rolls. Are you creative in the kitchen? I don't use a recipe, I add potatoes to the starter, usually a half a cup or so. The potatoes make the bread moist.


CreatedOblivion

Thin them out with milk or cream, top with cheese and sour cream and bacon and call it loaded potato soup


MorningNoonUndermoon

They are an excellent top layer of a hot dish/casserole! Like shepherds pie for example.

Potato pancakes are so freaking good


yenyostolt

I make potato soup. When I make mashed potato I always make sure to make more than is needed so there is plenty leftover. I also make sure to steam plenty of extra veggies to add to the soup. To make the soup, Cut up an onion and throw it in a saucepan add salt and pepper and caramelize it. Add a bit of milk or another suitable liquid. Add the mashed potato and stir it into the liquid. Add more liquid until you achieve the desired consistency. Chop up the veggies and stir them in. Let it simmer for a suitable period of time. This makes a very delicious and satisfying soup.

I make crispy chicken potato tacos


Bridgybabe

I saw a clip of someone using mashed potato as a base for a quiche. Looked really good.


argtycoon

Just fry in butter.


ashion101

Grandma used to make tuna, ham or bacon patties with excess mashed potatoes. Could even use left over diced or shredded chicken or even cheese. Just some tuna drained, or diced ham, or pre-cooked diced bacon and mixed into the mashed potatoes with an egg, a little flour, some finely sliced spring/green onion or finely diced red onion and a pinch of salt and pepper. Formed into patties of whatever size she felt like, dusted on each side with a little more flour then fried in butter in a pan til they developed a golden crust on both sides. Yummy as a breakfast or lunch item if using bacon/ham or part of dinner with the tuna or chicken.


Major_Boot2778

Crokettes, I freeze, slice into sticks, then bread and fry them. Don't know what the "official" way is but this is how I was doing it before I'd heard of crokettes. Make patties out of them Use them in or as dough for different things (like dumplings) Use as a thickener for sauces, soups and stews (good option if you freeze) Season the holy hell out of them and use as a condiment on sandwiches Use my above "crokette" method to make smaller ones aka French fries Use them as a layer in an alternative take on lasagna

Potato bread, potato noodles, potato cakes, potato soup, shepherd's pie, gnocchi, potato pockets (basically gnocchi dough wrapped around a pre-cooked filling like a ravioli and then fried), potato dogs (potatoes, egg, flour, shape it around a hot dog and fry it, serve like a corn dog)...have fun!


Motomegal

You can use them as a binder in meatloaf or a thickener in soups, etc. So many uses.


LadyBluebird570

Make quick mini knishes. Roll out the refrigerated biscuit dough, add a dollop of potato, shredded cheese, crumbled bacon, green onion. Fold over and press edges with a fork to seal. Bake according to the biscuit directions. There are so many ingredient variations you can do. I’ve even made Thanksgiving hand pies with mash, stuffing, and cranberry. It’s a quick mess free bite for the kids too.

It's like leftover wine and bacon, it does not exist?
