Slice them. Starting with potato, layer in a dish whatever you have in the fridge - I usually use 2 or 3 rashers of bacon (chopped to bite sized pieces) for one layer, sliced courgettes, slice tomatoes, chopped mushrooms, chopped green or red pepper, thinly sliced onion etc. Add salt and pepper to taste. Potato layer on top - cover with grated cheese and oven bake for about 30 mins on 180.

Or mash and add an egg yolk. Pipe into shapes and freeze all ready to bake for your next dinner party.

Easy way - Roughly chop the taties and spread in a greased shallow baking dish. Cover with heaps of grated cheese and bake in oven until cheese melted and golden. Some of the cheese gets delicious and crunchy.

My hubby like cold potato sandwiches for his lunch at work when theres any left over. I often spread the bread with a little salad dressing (the good old condensed milk one!) and slice potato onto that to make a sandwich. It tastes like the potato salad we once used to make with condensed milk dressing years ago. He likes it anyway! You could also use relish, onion jam etc.

Use them as a base for a type of frittata. I often do this plus it's a good way of recycling other left over veg or using up bits and pieces like that half a capsicum in the fridge that isn't going to last much longer etc.
Same idea - different take - make a quiche either with a base or with the type of base that forms as it cooks (self crusting varieties) or simply as part of an oven omelet to add bulk for those you might be feeding that don't believe that eggs + veggies without carbs of some sort are 'real food'.
I'm sure my MIL used to have a recipe for some sort of loaf (sweet I think) using left over tatties (she grew up during WWII, spending time in Sri Lanka, Ceylon back then, and then South Africa prior to evacuating to the UK with all the rationing and food shortages etc that they faced at the time so food was not for wasting - ever - no matter how humble). Perhaps there is something online using spuds for loaves, either sweet or savoury, that might be useful.
I've been known to mash them, cook leeks with butter and chicken stock and then mix them together and thin to (thick) soup consistency which hubby really loved (could have been the non traditional layer of cheese I added on top which made it less 'soup like') but, regardless, it all got eaten. :)
I think you can make dumplings from them to add to stews and casseroles towards the end and potato cakes are yum - just roughly mash and add flour, baking powder and milk (think scone dough mix) and whatever seasonings you like - garlic salt, herbs, pepper etc - you can thrown in some finely chopped veg (I often add spring onions) if you want. Pat into small rounds and fry. Once you make the mix 'wet' (not too wet, you need to be able to form it into small cakes) you can't leave it to sit. it will go glue like and be impossible to work with. These are great either hot as part of a meal or cold for lunches the next day.

Worlds quickest potato salad.
Leftover boiled potatoes. Maggi onion soup mix. Can reduced cream.
Make the onion dip. Treat it as the dressing for potato salad. Done. Really good with roast beef.
Then anything you add is a special extra. Chopped spring onions, diced capsicum, parsley. I have even add three drops of liquid smoke to the onion dip (NO MORE or its too strong) for more flavour.
