chives, cheese (better salt

These may be dipped in flour or dipped in egg, then in flour if desired. They may also go through a breading process of dipping in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

If no leftover mashed potatoes are on hand, it will take about 3 to 4 medium sized raw potatoes to make about two cups of mashed.

These may be made with leftover boiled potatoes, also. Simply mash, mix with a bit of butter and milk and proceed with the recipe.

This is a great recipe for &#8220;planned&#8221; leftovers &#8211; simply make extra mashed potatoes so there will be plenty to make potato cakes.

Potato cakes can be formed, make them rather thin, about 3/4&#8243; thick, placed on plastic wrap and frozen. Once frozen, bag for later use. No need to thaw, simply cook as directed.

Notes

The perfect way to use up leftover veg, bubble and squeak is packed with flavor and so easy to make.

Bubble and squeak

onion (small-medium)

Brussels sprouts

smoked bacon (or 3, if smaller (streaky))

butter

oz mashed potato ((8 ounces is approx 1 cup))

Finely dice the onion, slice/shred the Brussels sprouts and cut the bacon into thin slices.

Warm the butter in a small (8in/20cm) nonstick skillet/frying pan over a medium-high heat and add the onion and bacon. Cook for a few minutes until the onion softens and the bacon starts to brown.

Add the shredded Brussels sprouts and cook for a few minutes until they start to brown.

Mix in the mashed potatoes so they are evenly distributed then flatten the mixture in the skillet.

Leave the mixture to cook a few minutes (around 5) so that the bottom browns slightly.

Place a plate over the skillet and flip it over so the mixture falls onto the plate. Add a little bit more butter, if needed, to the skillet, then slide the mixture back into the skillet with what was the top on the bottom. Cook another few minutes until browned on the other side.
