Leftover mashed potatoes

[Bethanial]

So, I created The Potato Omelet

Melt tbsp or 2 bacon grease or butter in a 8" skillet. Scramble one egg and a couple tbsp of milk/cream/1/2&1/2. Stir in one portion size of mashed potatoes (2/3 cup?). And more garlic powder and salt, if they didn't get seasoned well the first go 'round (oops!). Meat (I've used turkey and shredded pork now), stirred in is optional. You have to flip it in sections. I flip it twice and then put cheese on top (again optional) until it's melted. Slide out on a plate, and top with ranch dressing, then enjoy!

If plain ol' potatocakes are too prosaic (although with fried onions and/or lil bits of fried sausage mixed in before frying the cakes, that dresses them up considerably) try

-- fish cakes (canonically with reconstituted salt cod, but pretty ok with any other reasonable kind of white fish or even with salmon)

-- potato stuffing (it is a side dish not 'stuffed' into anything, recipe from the Pennsylvania Dutch side of my family is at http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=659

-- crepes with mashed potatoes and leftover pork inside and gravy on the outside.

Yes, we had leftovers As my mom said, I forgot I wasn't making mashed potatoes for my ex, who would devour a 10-lb bag worth of mashed in less than 3 days.

I've been really enjoying my potato omelet creation! And thanks for sharing the potato stuffing - that sounds most yummy, and I do believe I will be trying that

I make potato salad if I ever have left over mashed. Add boiled eggs, onion, sweet pickles, mayo, mustard. Yum, Yum. I'm the potato salad queen in our family and usually used boiled potato chunks, but mashed work just as well.

If we just have a little left over, hubby makes potato pancakes for his breakfast - stir in an egg and some flour with pepper and fry up in that good old bacon grease. He never met a potato he didn't like and will sometimes chop up and fry them for breakfast. He cooks his own, I just grab whatever I can find: cold, left-over pizza is a favorite.

No fair, you guys said what I planned to say.

But I was going to add, I have a Jamaican friend who makes something she calls "potato ball". She adds spices to mashed potatos and shapes them into meatball size balls. She deep fries these and serves them with a lamb curry dish and a kind of Jamaican pita bread she called Roti (sp). She lives far from me now and I haven't eaten this meal in 15 years, but my mouth still waters with the memory. I recently found her through FB, I should ask her for the recipe. Only problem is I remember watching her make it and it seemed to take forever!
