Easy Leftover Mashed Potato Croquettes Recipe

The Leftover Mashed Potato Croquettes Recipe was a recipe that has evolved out of a need to do something different with all those leftovers at the holidays, as warmed-up mashed potatoes never taste as good as the original did. Many see it as a comfort food and goes well with any meat dish such as ham, roast beef or turkey. This recipe is easy and best suited to homemade Idaho mashed potatoes as opposed to instant and also works better when you didn’t put too much milk and butter in the original, so it will hold its shape better.

Print
Prep time: 30 mins
Total time: 30 mins
Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 pounds potatoes (Yukon gold or Russets are best for mashed potatoes)
  • 1 cup shredded extra-sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream
  • 4 bacon slices, cooked and crumbled
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions
  • salt and pepper
Instructions
  1. Peel the potatoes. Cut them into big pieces. Big pieces suck up less water and mashed potatoes will taste better. Put them into a pot and cover them with cold water. Add salt and bring to boil. When the water boils you can turn the heat down (or your stove will be really messy) and let your potatoes simmer for fifteen or twenty minutes. When they are soft and tender they are done.
  2. Now drain them and return them to your pot. Put the pot back on low heat. Why? By doing this you will get rid of all the water and mashed potatoes will taste better. Just make sure you don’t burn them.
  3. Now add cheese and milk and mash the potatoes. Put them back on fire and cook them until all the cheese melts. Make sure you keep stirring so you don’t burn the potatoes. When the cheese melts you can add the rest of ingredients – sour cream, bacon, green onions, salt, and pepper. Using this much potatoes will feed around 8 people, so you can easily cut all the ingredients in half in you don’t need so much mashed potatoes.
