Answer 2

Shepherd's pie! Make up the meat and veggie and gravy mix, and top with the mashed potatoes. Or you could just put them in a dish and add cheese on top and bake. Or you could add an egg or two and make potato pancakes. I've even seen recipes where you can make soup out of them.

Answer 3

Potato Cakes.

Answer 5

Potatoe patties:
add a beaten egg, garlic salt to taste, shape into patties and dip in crushed crackers, then fry in butter, turning them once, until golden brown and crunchy.

Or, potato casserole:
add 8 oz. sour cream, 8 oz. cream cheese, a quarter teaspoon garlic salt, and 4 oz. shredded cheddar cheese. Mix together, put ina greased casserole dish and bake in a 350 over for 45 minutes. Top with another 4 oz. shredded cheese, put back in oven 5 minutes or so until the cheese melts.

Answer 6

Empty into a HOT skillet and sear untill the 'crispy' is too your likeing, flip them over and dump a BIG hand full of grated chees on top, sprinkel some crushed ice around the outer edge, put a lid on the skillet, and let it cook about as long as it cooked to get crispy the first time.... the cheese melts and frys around the tattors, and wolaaa!!!

the crispy-er, the better for me..

YUMMM!! i do some other seasonings to them now and then,...but thats as good a breakfast tattor as there is for clucker-nuggets and backon!!!

TRY IT... if it werent such a hassel, thats the way i would eat ALL spuds.

Mix them with milk and a small amount of flour, make them into patties and fry in hot oil(They taste better than the mashed potatoes!!!)

Answer 10

This will taste similiar to twice baked potaoes~~~ add butter/shredded cheese (your preference) maybe some sour cream & bake in mounds on a cookie sheet @ 400 degrees until brown on top...you may have to place under the broiler but watch closely,they burn easily!
