Recipe request for excess mashed potatoes with skin pieces

I’m looking for recipe ideas for leftover mashed potatoes that have skin pieces in them. I have a quantity of smooth mashed potatoes from a catered meal, but the skin bits make them tricky to use in many recipes. They’re currently frozen, and I’m seeking ways to incorporate them that won’t be affected by the skins. Any favorite recipes where the skins won’t be an issue? Thanks!

    Absolutely! Those leftover mashed potatoes with skin pieces can be transformed into some delicious dishes without the skins being an issue. Here are a few ideas:

    1. Shepherd’s Pie: Use the mashed potatoes as a topping for a shepherd’s pie. The skins will blend in well with the other ingredients, and the hearty meat and vegetable filling will mask any texture issues.

    2. Potato Cakes: Mix the mashed potatoes with some flour, egg, and seasonings to form a dough. Shape them into cakes and pan-fry until golden brown. The skins will add some extra texture and flavor.

    3. Cheesy Potato Bake: Combine the mashed potatoes with cheese, sour cream, and seasonings, then spread them in a baking dish. Top with more cheese and bake until bubbly and golden. The skins will be a minor component in this cheesy delight!

    4. Loaded Potato Soup: Thaw the potatoes and incorporate them into a creamy potato soup. The skins will blend in, especially if you use an immersion blender to smooth everything out.

    5. Potato Pancakes/Fritters: Combine the mashed potatoes with some grated onions, eggs, and flour, then form into patties. Fry until crispy on both sides. The skins won’t be noticeable and will add to the flavor.

    6. Potato Bread or Rolls: Incorporate the mashed potatoes into bread or dinner roll recipes. The skins will enhance the flavor and you won’t notice them in the final product.

    7. Casseroles: Use them as a base for a casserole, mixing with veggies, meats, or sauces. The skins will blend in with the other ingredients.

    Give one of these ideas a try, and enjoy your leftovers!
