Leftover Mashed Potatoes?

Question

What is your favorite recipe to use up leftover mashed potatoes?

Answer 1

I love to mix leftover mashed with Cajun seasoning, canned crab meat, a bit of cream cheese, cheddar cheese, eggs and a dash of baking powder then bake in ramekins - they puff up and get all golden and yummy like little souffles

Answer 2

MASHED POTATO PATTIES

This is a great way to use up those leftover potatoes.
Take your leftover mashed potatoes and add 1 egg and a little bit of milk. Add some onion, grated cheese and even a little bit of chopped green pepper if you like. Mix together.

Form into patties and roll in crushed crackers or corn flake crumbs. Put on cookie sheet and bake in 350 degree oven until hot. Remove from oven and place on broiler rack for a few minutes to brown on the outside. Serve - makes a great side dish.

Leftover mashed patatoes(as much as you have)
2-3 tablespoons of flour
1 egg(egg replacer equivilant too)
Onion(grated with a box grater.Grate it over the bowl so that the juice from the onion goes into the cakes)

Answer 4

Mix 2 cups (full) mashed spuds with the following:
You may omit any veggie that you do not like.
Dice the vegetables...
One quarter of a small red bell pepper,
One quarter of a small green bell pepper,
Yellow onion, diced, enough to get 1/4 cup.
1/4 teaspoon black or white pepper.
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder.
Blend together well.
Spread the mixture into a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray, or lightly greased with cooking oil.
Preheat oven to 375. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from oven and sprinkle with your favorite grated cheese, at least half a cup. Allow to sit for a few minutes to let the cheese start to melt. Cheddar or a good yellow cheese is best. Great for a brunch with eggs and breakfast meats. You can have these without the cheese or you can use lowfat cheeses. Enjoy.
