Cold Mashed Potato

[Tilly2]

Mr Tilly always peels too many potatoes and I have a half saucepan of mashed potatoes left from last night's dinner. There's enough for another meal but we are having a salad tonight and don't want mash with that.

Will they be o.k. to eat tomorrow with a beef casserole? They are now in a bowl in the fridge.

[ummmm]

Yep...they'll be fine.

[Mosaic]

Oh yes. Delicious. Best hangover food ever. Cold mash straight from bowl, pan or tupperware. Not from bin though.

[factor-fiction]

We do. It's nice fried up.

[EcclesCake]

Turn them into patties and fry them off yum-diddly-umptious!

[rockyracoon]

I love having left over mash, fish cakes and bubble springs to mind.

[Tilly2]

Can I microwave them tomorrow?

[wired]

Yes, it'll be fine tomorrow, you can re-heat in the microwave. I also freeze mash that's left over it's a good stand by.

[shoota]

If you decide to reheat it as 'mash' add more butter as it will have dried out a little.

[Tilly2]

If I saute some leeks, will I be able to add them to the potatoes and make a nice bubble and squeaky sort of thing?

[Tilly2]

.....more butter, shoota?

[shoota]

or milk.

[EcclesCake]

Yep, sweat leeks and mush together with pots and then fry off. If you have a touch of mustard to add to the usual seasoning even scrummier!

[Tilly2]

milk, it is.

Righto, thanks all. I shall decide tomorrow what to do with them.

[Tilly2]

That sounds nice, Eccles. I might do that.

[shoota]

Do you not use butter when making mash then Till?

[Clanad]

Type Your Answer Here...Oh, absolutely... we keep them around for maybe a week if wekk refrigerated...

Ever try a cold mashed potato sandwich? Just spread about 1/2 inch of cold mashed potatoes between two slices of bread (sourdough is best), top with a thick slice of any mild onion, et voila!

[ummmm]

I was watching Michel Roux Jnr making mash. He more or less uses the same amount of butter as there is mash and no seasoning...

[murraymints]

i would fry them up to have with scrambled egg for brekkie..yum yum

Cold mash, salad cream, croutons and mini cooked chipolata sausages. Yummy.

[Tilly2]

No, shoota, I don't put butter in my mash. I do use milk, though.
