I made a ton more mashed potatoes than we needed for Thanksgiving. We are eating some of them with the rest of the leftovers, but what else can I make with them? Any ideas?
-
latkes :)

Fry them as patties and serve with eggs for breakfast. Mmm.
Or add greens and revive them as colcannon, maybe.

Or this:

Or overnight them to me. I love mashed potatoes so much.

I never heard of latkes with mashed potatoes, is that a thing? I've only ever had/made them with shredded potatoes.

Shepard's pie...

Was watching a River Cottage episode last night about using left overs and one of his chef's made this:
Tim's lemon trickle mash cake
It’s best made with leftover whole potatoes, which you’ve mashed or, even better, riced once cold. If you’re intending to make it with leftover mash, make sure it doesn’t contain too much butter, milk, cream – or any flavourings such as mustard.

Servings
12
Ingredients
175g unsalted butter, softened
200g caster sugar
4 eggs
200g ground almonds
2 tsp baking powder
250g plain, cold mashed potato
finely grated zest of 3 lemons
For the topping
Juice of 2 lemons
75g caster sugar
ground almonds, mashed potato, baking powder, caster sugar, Leftovers, Butter, Lemon
Directions
Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4. Butter and line a 23cm diameter, springform cake tin. Beat the butter and sugar together until light, pale and fluffy (about 5 minutes in a mixer). Beat in the eggs, one at a time, adding a spoonful of ground almonds with each addition to stop the mixture curdling. Stir the baking powder into the remaining almonds, then fold them into the mixture, followed by the mashed potato and the lemon zest. Spoon the mixture into the cake tin and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out with just a few moist crumbs clinging to it. Check it after 25 minutes to make sure it is not colouring too much, and cover with a sheet of foil if it is. Leaving the hot cake in its tin, pierce it all over with a skewer, going quite deep, but not right through to the base. Combine the lemon juice and caster sugar for the topping and, before the sugar has had a chance to dissolve, pour the mixture slowly and carefully all over the cake. Leave to cool completely before serving.

Not technically latkes but you could call them that. They'd still be tasty. We make potato croquettas: shape into balls, dip in egg & breadcrumb and fry. I've added super soft, cooked broccoli and smashed it in before to make it slightly healthier.

Bacon crumbles would make it even better!

I was also going to suggesst croquettes, I like to fill them with different veggie mixtures- spinach and feta is a nice one. Then make a nice salad to go along with. :)

crackers!
I have an excellent cracker recipe somewhere that uses cold mashed potato. I have to dig it out soon because I'm excited to try using my pasta machine for rolling the dough, and with the holidays coming up, I'm thinking I'll colour them with tumeric and cut into stars.

It's good, I promise. Just add milk or chicken broth to thin it out, and add onions, bacon, sour cream and shredded cheese. Save some to put on the top for garnish.

I was gonna suggest soup too. Add turkey broth, bacon and cheese and you have a delicious and filling soup.
