Left over mashed tater Recipes

[Guest guest]

Well, we like potato topped casseroles. And you can top meatloaves (meatless,

you know what I mean) or you can make potato balls.....

 

2 cups mashed taters,

2 little green onions with the tails,

some garlic salt and pepper.

 

With wet hands roll into balls the size of meat balls and roll the balls in

cornmeal. Bake in oven at 350 degrees F for about 20 minutes. Shake to roll

'em halfway through the cooking.

 

I serve this with a peanut sauce and steamed mixed veggies.

 

 

Also good is this potato casserole my mom used to make:

 

3 cups mashed taters

1/2 cup milk (reg, soy or rice, they all work)

some diced onion to taste or not

2 beaten eggs

1 generous tsp baking powder

1 cup finely grated cheddar cheese

1/2 cup grated cheddar

 

Whip everything up together. Spoon into a well greased casserole dish. Bake at

350 for 20 minutes then sprinkle the rest of the cheese on top and bake until it

is all melted and starting to brown.

 

 

Veggie Tater Bake with or without cheese

 

3 cups California Mixed veggies

3 cups mashed taters

1 can of your favourite soup - mushroom, cheese, tomato

plus 1 can of milk

1 cup shredded cheese (optional)

1/3 cup crushed crotons or dried bread crumbs for topping

 

Put the veggies in the bottom of a greased casserole dish. At the soup and

milk. If you are using cheese, sprinkle it on now. Top with the taters and

sprinkle the crumbs over the top. Bake at 325 till just starting to brown,

about 25 minutes.

 

 

Potato Baked Alaska - a pain in the butt but looks great.

 

Make a meatless loaf, any kind as long as you made it in a loaf pan. One that

bakes up firm is best.

 

Unmold the meatless loaf onto a cookie sheet.

 

Mix about 3 cups of mashed taters with enough milk so they are easy to spread.

They need to be hot so zap 'em in the microwave first. Scoop them onto the

meatloaf and cover the entire loaf with potoes about 1 or 1 1/2 inches thick.

Right down to the cookie tray. Place in a preheated 400 degree oven, on the

middle rack. Now don't go anywhere. Watch until it has turned a nice golden

brown. Remove from heat, surround with something nice a colourful like mixed

veggies, carrot rounds etc and bring to the table to slice. It looks very

impressive when you have company.

 

Hope some of these help. And, for those of you who make mashed taters

regularly, add butter but not milk and they will freeze beautifully for up to 6

months. You can actually add softened cream cheese and whip it up and freeze

like that. Yummy. I freeze in 2 cup portions. I'm a hard core once a month

freezer cook.

Hi Shawn:

 

You can make sloppy joe and serve it over mashed potatoes.

Left over massive amount of mashed tater ideas?

 

 

Hi all. I've got a huge container of mashed potatoes. Any ideas on what to

transform it into. I was going to do Latkes but just realized that the

potatoes need to be grated, not mashed. I just heard that since the taters

have half n half and butter, you could freeze it in small batches and use it

as a base for soups and such later on.

 

I might do the latter but I'm looking to make something as well. Any ideas

would be appreciated. Thanks.
