    I've never tried this but just seen it on another thread - siimar to the above really, but with a twist - put baked beans in the bottom of a dish, top with mash mixed with cheese, and then top with more cheese and bake in the oven.

    Or how about using it as a shepherds pie topping? Or fish pie?

    I've frozen mash and then defrosted it to use on shepherds pie and it's come out fine - not sure what it would be like to just eat on it's own though.

    My mother used to do this: mix the mash with mayonaise. Add a tin of salmon (drained, flaked, skin & bones removed), some chopped hard boiled eggs and some cold cooked green peas. It becomes a sort of Russian salad and is very yummy, but rather fattening!

  • You can freeze it, or you can make Chocolate Mashed Potato cake. You can - thriftlady says so ;)

    I mix mash with cooked veg (any veg chopped small will do though green veg is more traditional) then dry fry in a non-stick frying pan till crispy. If you have a lot to do.. then heat the oven and have a baking dish/casserole handy - do a pan of bubble and squeak at a time, put it in the dish and in the oven and then do the next panful. Keeps it all hot till you are ready to eat!

    If my Mum had any leftover mash it was always fried till it had a nice crispy brown coating and served with egg on fried bread............yummy.
    Bubble and squeak is always tasty if you've any left over veg as well

    I love the idea of the baked beans topped with cheesy mash, though I'm not sure there's enough to go over without making anymore. I think I might just fry it and see what happens! Thanks all! :grin:
