LEFTOVER MASHED POTATO CAKES



Leftover Mashed Potato Cakes image

I searched the internet for a recipe to use up some left over mashed potatoes. This is what I found and made. It's simple, easy, and a great way to use up left over mashed potatoes. This is one recipe that I always come to when I have leftover mashed potatoes. I once made these and I wasn't serving them right away, so I let them cool down then I froze them. A few weeks later I removed them from the freezer let them defrost and they were just as good. I have even added leftover chicken pieces and leftover meatloaf to this and it was yummy.

LEFT-OVER POTATO CAKES



Left-Over Potato Cakes image

I love my leftovers. I go out of my way to make too much so I have thigns for future meals and to play around with. I think Thanksgiving is the Alpha and Omega of holidays for leftovers. I came up with this recipe as an easy meal that uses leftover prepared ingredients. It can also be adjust to meet your tastes. Just remember that the potates are prepared mashed potatoes (with butter, milk, etc.) You can use any kind of flavors you like so don't worry if you just made plain-jane mashed potatoes or you made cheddar mash with bacon and sour cream. If you don't have left over stuffing or do not want to use it just replace the amount with more potatoes. You can add in meat, cheese, etc as you want also. My husband topped his cakes with leftover turkey and poured some turkey gravy over it and loved it (he went back for 3rds)

Time 40m

Yield 10-12 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 cups prepared mashed potatoes
1 cup prepared stuffing (can be replaced with equal amounts of potatoes)
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup prepared dry biscuit mix (I used Bisquick)
1/2 cup dried bread, crumbs
1 cup french fried onions, crushed (The kind typically put on green bean casserole)

Steps:

  • Mix cold mashed potatoes, cold stuffing, eggs, and biscut mix together until well blended. If you are adding anythign else such as meat or cheese this is the time to mix that in too. If you put the mixture into the refridgerator for 30 mintutes or so it will tighten up some and be easier to work with.
  • Preheat the oven to 400. Combine the bread crumbs and friend crushed onions together in a shallow bowl. Prepare a rimmed cookie sheet by spraying it a healthy amount with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Work with 1/4 cup of potato mixture at a time and form into patties. Press into the crumb mixture. and arrange it on the cookie sheet.
  • Place in the oven and cook for 20 minutes. Use a spatula to flip the cakes and continue cooking 20 more minutes.
  • Let the cakes set 5-10 minutes before serving.

HOLIDAY LEFT-OVER SWEET POTATO CAKE



Holiday Left-Over Sweet Potato Cake image

This recipe lets you use up left-over sweet potato. The cake is very moist, so you don't really need icing. Better yet, if you have left-over sweet potatoes from Thanksgiving, freeze them, and make this cake for Christmas. The whipped sweet potatoes I use already have some butter and sugar, so I only use 1 3/4 cups of sugar in the batter, but adjust the sugar amount to your liking.
