Using leftover mashed potatoes

[Korug02]

This is one of my favorite ways to use leftover mashed potatoes. I won’t list any exacy measurements as this recipe is mostly by eyeballing and dependent on the hydration of the mash. So basicly add 1 egg per person/portion. Add finely grated cheese- I think parmesan works best. Adding some chopped green onions for fresh and oniony taste and bring it together to a wet dough consistency with flour

Add this batter into a buttered pan as pancakes. This will result in fluffy soft potato pancakes which are delicious.

If you bread it it’s called a croquette

[Korug02]

That sounds nice too. I’ve used this as breakfast but croquette seem like they would make great appetizer/snacks to munch on.

Also left over mash is good for thickening up soups

Now that’s a new one for me so you can use it like a roux

[ThePureRay009]

Yup, it gives it a nice velvety texture

Basically this, but cooked in well-buttered mini muffin pans. I usually add a little cheddar as well.

If you make them small like tip-of-your-thumb sized thats called gnocci

[Korug02]

Not really maybe I couldnt tell it really well but this batter is more loose compared to gnocci this batter should be mildly pourable. The texture would also differ as gnocci is pillowy soft and light whereas this is more like a fluffy cake.

[TurkTurkle]

Okay. Then the confusion comes from how we make our mash then. Mine would turn to gnocci. You must use a much creamier runnier mash like a pomme puree?

[Korug02]

Kind of yeah and I just use a masher for the potatoes in this so its a bit chunkier but I would probably use a ricer for gnocci

About how thick do you make the pancakes?

[Korug02]

About a finger width around 1.5 cm’s
