[dawgman]

Anyone have a recipe?

[SharonAnn]

1. Form them into patties and saute them in a little olive oil

Yummy!

Put some onion or garlic salt on them if you like.

[dawgman]

2. You can use them to top shepherd's pie

Basically it's beef stew topped by mashed potatoes and baked a little to crust up the taters.

[dawgman]

7. don't have the ingredients for the stew.

but that's what the wife normally does with them.

10. This recipe from Cooks.com is so good, I make sure

that I have leftovers whenever I mash the suckers:


3 c. left over mashed potatoes
Salt & pepper to taste
1/2 c. sour cream
2 tbsp. chives
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 c. shredded Swiss or cheddar cheese
4 slices bacon, cooked & crumbled

Mix all ingredients together, except cheese and bacon and place in a greased baking dish. Sprinkle cheese and bacon on top. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

If you use low-fat sour cream and cheese, it's not quite as heart-attack provoking........................ enjoy!

[Bridget Burke]

11. throw them out

or feed them to a dog.

Sorry, I love potatos but hate them mashed. One time while eating out I order potato pancakes and was disgusted to get fried mashed potatos. YUCK

[notadmblnd]

14. fried mashed potatoes are icky

I like them shredded. Pigs in a blanket is what my mother did with left over. quick and easy.

slice hotdogs in middle
stuff with potatoes and cheese
wrap bacon around them and bake.

13. Form them into a potatoe shape

and make reunmashed potatos

15. Sculpt them into a replica of Devil's Tower in Wyoming

:shrug:

16. I recommend not making mashed potatoes in the first place

Hash browns are good. Baked potatoes are excellent. But mashed potatoes are just blah. No matter what you do to them, they're blah.

20. knishes

mix the mashies with fried onions, butter and a little milk to keep them moist. Form into patties then wrap in several layers of filo dough. Brush with melted butter. Bake in the oven until brown- Heaven on a plate!


Also you can use this mix to fill won-ton skins. Pan fry with onions

21. Mashed potatos

You can make potato soup or potato pancakes. for soup just thin a little with milk and add some sauted onions. a little bacon is good too. Use just enough milk or light cream too get it to the consistency you like
for pancakes just mix in a beaten egg and shape into pancakes. dust lightly with flour and fry until golden brown turning just once. :9

22. That potato dish.

4 c. mashed potatoes
2 (8 oz.) pkg. Cream cheese
4 eggs
4 T. flour
Pepper
12 oz. fried onion rings (You can use the one's in a tin if you're a kitchen weenie or that Sweetiebutt, ZombyWoof.)

Mash potatoes. Whip in the cream cheese. Beat in one egg at a time. Beat in flour and pepper. Put into greased 9-1/2 X 13 pan. Top with onion rings. Bake until puffy at 350 about 45 minutes.


For brunch, add a little grated cheddar to the topping and crumble some bacon into it.
