loads of mash!

Tink_04

Trying to be smart with a hug bag of potatoes I have ended up out of my depth!!

I have loads of mashed potato left over and was wondering what I could use it for over the next few days? I have made 4 individual shepherds pies for the freezer already and have pie and mash and sausage and mash for dinners but still have enough for meals all week!! I'd rather not freeze it as I have frozen chips and roast potatoes i have made already and don't have a lot of room left in there now.

I was trying to use up some potatoes that had got cheap but needed to be used asap but must have underestimated how much mash I had made!

Fish Cakes made with a tin of salmon - just a thought

These wartime bacon and potato cakes are a delicious way to use some of them up. It is from Marguerite Patten's We'll Eat Again, but it also appears here:

You may not have much space in your freezer but I'd still put the remainder of the mash into small bags and squeeze it into any remaining nook and cranny in your freezer whilst it's not frozen it should squeeze in to a lot of corners.

I just made a cheese/potato pie with mine. Ate it for tea and it'll be tea again tomorrow night, with beans each night.

Food overload's a pain in the butt!

Cake! My wife is allergic to wheat so we use potatoes to make cake.

Don't tell people it is wheat free, they will go on about your amazing baking.

Any sort of rissoles.

My fave recipe....

Boil a savoy cabbage (and any leftover carrot) - mix it in with the mash.

Heat large baking tray in oven with oil...chop some onion and let it frizzle.

Add mash/cabbage to baking tray.

If you must have meat, lay some smoky bacon rashers on top from 10 mins in.

10 mins later, make 4 nests with a ladle - crack an egg into each dent, sprinkle with grated cheddar.

Serve as eggs are just done.

HP sauce is the pièce de r!sistance for this meal.

The hairy biker's latest diet book suggests making pastry using mash, a little butter and a little flour rather than the traditional method.

I tried it as a pastry lid for pies and every seemed to like it.

Potato gnocchi!

Personally I don't add an egg, because the gnocchi come softer, but it is easier if you do as they are more compact and don't break when cooking.

Granny used to fry mashed potatos next day and have them with vinegar. They go a bit crispy and brown in places. Sounds strange but was absolutely delicious!
