When it comes to mashed potatoes, we always seem to make more than we can eat. A crowd-pleaser on Thanksgiving and year-round, mashed potatoes make a great side to almost any meal. But what can you do with the leftovers? While you can eat them straight from the bowl, you can also make so many amazing dishes with them. Here are five ideas to get you started.
Vegetarian Shepherd’s Pie
Shephard’s pie doesn’t have to contain beef to be delicious. You can make a veggie version with eggplant, onions, carrots, and mashed potatoes.
Mashed Potato Balls
Crispy and golden on the outside and gooey and cheesy on the inside, these are the ultimate appetizer. Coated with panko and stuffed with bacon, could these get any better?
Potato Rolls
These soft, golden-brown rolls require some patience for waiting for the yeast to rise, but trust us when we say, it’s worth the wait!
Potato Cakes
The ultimate comfort food, just serve these with a dollop of sour cream or applesauce for a tasty snack.
Mashed Potato Gnocchi
Get a lighter and fluffier potato gnocchi by using mashed potatoes. These are perfect on a cold winter day.
