What to Make With Leftover Mashed Potatoes

Cold mashed potatoes reheat badly but transform beautifully.

Ideas that actually work

  • Potato cakes

    Mix with egg and flour, shape into patties, and pan-fry until crisp.

  • Shepherd's pie topping

    Spread over a meat and vegetable base and bake until golden.

  • Potato soup

    Whisk into hot stock with milk for an instant creamy soup.

  • Gnocchi

    Combine with flour and egg, roll, cut, and boil until they float.

How long it keeps

3–4 days refrigerated in a sealed container.
