Leftover Potato Recipes
Leftover potatoes are one of the best ingredients to have hanging about in the fridge. Whether they’re mashed, boiled, roasted, baked – or even uncooked – there’s no need to throw them out. With a bit of imagination (and not much effort), they can be turned into something tasty all over again. Here are 10 delicious leftover potato recipes for you to try.
This list is packed with easy and delicious ways to make the most of leftover potatoes. Ideal if you have cooked too much the night before or just want to stretch a meal a bit further.
Mashed potatoes are perfect for making things like leftover mashed potato patties – crispy on the outside and soft in the middle. Or bubble and squeak cakes, great with sprouts or any other leftover veg. You can also try tuna fish cakes, a hearty meal with store-cupboard staples.
If you have cooked spuds (boiled or baked), slice them up and make some pan-fried potatoes with onions – a proper classic. Or go a bit fancier with a potato gratin dauphinois – creamy, cheesy and ideal as a side dish.
Fancy something crispy? Swiss Rösti or cheese and onion Rösti are both good ways to use grated potatoes, and go brilliantly with a fried egg on top. Or if you like your spuds smashed, then try some vegan smashed potatoes – crispy, garlicky and full of flavour. There is something here for everyone.
And if you’re after something a bit different, a Spanish omelette with bacon and cheese is a brilliant way to use up leftover boiled potatoes – filling and tasty.
So next time you find yourself staring at a bowl of leftover potatoes, don’t bin them. Turn them into one of these cracking dishes instead.
