I have been making alot of stuffed potatoes lately and always have leftover mashed potato - any suggestions for using this up! (the scooped out potato that is leftover has no additions to it).

Potato Blocks
1 egg 1 Tblsp chopped parsley pepper and salt to taste 2 cups mashed potato 1/2 cup flour Add egg, parsley, pepper and salt to mashed potato. Then add enough flour to make mixture firm. Press out on a floured board like scone mixture. Cut into blocks. Fry both sides till crisp

I made some potato patties/fritters the other night, was beautiful. Had left over mashed potato,peas and corn, left over finely chopped roast mutton and bit of gravy, bit of stock powder. Mixed all up with a bit of flour(didnt have any eggs), shaped into patties coated in flour and then fried them up.was really surprised how good they tasted, all from leftovers. oh and chucked some cream cheese in as well just cause i had some that needed using up.

I have bumped the "Potatoes" thread for you. There are a few recipes there using mashed potato.

Bubble and squeak is good for using up left over potato, or add to soups as a thickener.

As I'm on my own, I cook a potful of potato, mash it and then freezein blobs or meal size portions. When I want to use it, the blobs go in a hot oven and are Duchess Potatoes. The meal sized portions go into a dish, dotted with butter and heated in the microwave or oven.

Tuna or salmon cakes. I often make too much mash so I can do these the next day, it doesn't work aswell with freshly mashed.
Tin of salmon, left over mash, spring onion or onion, chicken stock cube, salt or garlic salt & pepper, an egg, breadcrumbs.
Really tasty with sweet chilli sauce and a nice fresh salad. You can do large ones for dinner or mini ones for lunch or a snack (which my kids love).
I also sometimes use up some leftover mash in a fritata, it bulks it out :)

when you bump up a thread, you post on it so that it somes up at the beginning on page one. You should be able to see it on this first page.

Make Gnocchi and then give them a NZ twist by smothering them in gravy !
Bubble and squeak would be my choice - I made mine last week with potato, leek, spinach and some leftover pumpkin as well.But I'm curious as to why you have leftover potato anyway - when I make stuffed potatoes I add the extra fillings to the potato and stuff all the mixture back into the skins even though it means they overflow a bit

i just pop it in a frying pan and fry it until it has plenty of crispy bits throughout it - oooh so good! lol

Same here. And although it probably sounds gross, I then pile it onto toast spread with vegemite.Have done that since i was a kid.

Yes that does sound a bit gross but no worse than the mashed potato and brown sauce sandwiches my husband, son and mother would make with it!

Potato puffs, I do almost the same as dibble's recipe but add enough milk to make the mixture faily wet- not runny -then add flour -at the rate of 1 cup of flour & 2 teaspoons of baking powder,until it is back to a soft scone mixture,, drop dessertspoons full in deep hot oil ,they soon pop up to the top -turn over when brown to brown the 2ndside, these are so nice. I haven't put the meat in them so far, they are good without.enjoy.

If I have any left over I usually make mounds using my ice cream scoop, sometimes I add grated cheese.Put on non stick paper, brush with oil and into a hot oven.Goes well with a steak and peas.

we will fry left over mashed potato with either a little grated cheese or chopped onion, bacon etc for a bit of a breakfast flavour.
