If you’re anything like me, I always seem to make extra mashed potatoes ‘just in case’. I’m not sure why because I’ve never run out but somehow I always end up with leftovers.

Of course they’re good to just reheat or to use in Loaded Mashed Potato Egg Rolls but my absolute favorite way to enjoy them is this recipe. Mashed potato pancakes make leftover mashed potatoes (with a few easy additions), into a new family favorite!

You can just add a little cheese and seasonings to make a side but if you want to turn this into a light meal or hearty lunch, add in some leftover chicken or turkey (or even stuffing)!

Mashed potatoes are easy to make (and even easier to make in the crock pot) so I often will boil up some potatoes just so we have enough mashed potatoes to make these mashed potato cakes!

You can really get creative with the seasonings and add ins in this easy recipe! Pretty much anything in your fridge is game… add some spices & herbs, a little bit of meat/protein and whatever veggies you have on hand!

A few of our favorite combos include:

• ham, cheddar, red bell pepper, squeeze of dijon
• leftover taco meat, corn, cheese
• pepperoni, oregano, green pepper, mozzarella
• leftover chicken/turkey, poultry seasoning, leftover stuffing
• sundried tomatoes, oregano & basil, fresh mozzarella
• anything in your fridge

They can be topped with sour cream, extra bacon bits, sautéed veggies, ketchup, sausage and eggs, basically anything you might have handy!
