Left-over mashed potatoes are good enough just as left-overs, but here are a few ideas for other things:

  • Make potato soup.  Heat mashed potatoes in a saucepan and add milk to make it the right consistency for soup.  Add salt, pepper, and a little olive oil or butter.
  • Make potato patties.  My mother used to make these while I was growing up.  Simply form a pattie out of the mashed potatoes and fry in oil (olive oil) and add salt and pepper.
  • Make potato salad.  Just add your favorites such as mayonaise, mustard, chopped onion, chopped hard-boiled eggs, chopped celery, etc.
  • Make Shepherd’s Pie.  This idea is from Lynne, The Sewing Mom.   Thanks, Lynne!

Great tips, thanks. We hardly have leftovers the way my kids eat but this is good to know :)

Leftover mashed potatoes are also great for shepherd’s pie. :-D
