Acquired 3-working day old leftover mashed potatoes? I have a delicious solution. Never waste them, make them into these group-satisfying appetizer.

You can add one or far more eggs and modify the grated cheese and seasoning based on how lots of cups of potatoes you have left. These occur collectively immediately, and can be pan-fried, air-fried, or baked in a scorching oven. These are so fantastic they are really worth earning clean mashed potatoes for! Having said that, refrigerated leftovers work best (and, experiments have instructed that cooled potatoes have additional resistant starch).

Enjoy!
