No Waste Food Challenge - Mashed Potatoes

Inspired by the Love Food Hate Waste campaign, Kate from Turquoise Lemons came up with the No Waste Food Challenge, a place to share recipes for leftover food or food that would otherwise end up in the bin. This month I am hosting this challenge and I am setting the challenge ingredient as leftover mashed potatoes. How do you use up those cold, leftover mashed potatoes which have been sitting in your fridge for a day or two because you couldn't bear to throw them out?


Challenge Conditions:
1. Please link up your challenge entry by the end of the month, using the linky below. Or not! Apparently the Linky Tool is a paid-for service, somehow I managed to sign up and use it for a month without noticing this and they've cancelled my subscription! Plan B: email me your link at tangolikeraindrop at hotmail dot co dot uk by the end of the month
2. If the recipe is not your own make sure you credit the author.
3. Feel free to republish old posts, just make sure you add a link to the challenge and add the challenge badge.
4. Make sure you link up before the end of the month.
5. Please also include a link back to this blog and Turquoise Lemons and use the No Waste Food Challenge Badge --->

If you are on Twitter feel free to use the hashtag #nowastefoodchallenge and mention me @TangoRaindrop and I will retweet all that I see.

Happy cooking! I look forward to seeing your recipes. To give you a little inspiration here are a few of my own favourite leftover mashed potato dishes.

  6. Is it cheating if I write up a post I have from Christmas leftovers that I haven't managed to blog yet?

  9. The linky says it's expired, so I can't add my post, even though it's not the end of the month yet

    1. Oh bother! I didn't read the small print, apparently - it needs to be paid for. I didn't see that when I signed up for it and since I don't make any money on my blog I'm not paying for it! Will sort something out after dinner.

Please do leave a comment as I love reading them, especially if you've made or adapted any of my recipes. I'd love to hear from you!
My apologies, but due to a high volume of spam I've had to introduce word verification. Thanks for understanding. x
