I love potatoes. They are seriously one of the very best cheap foods out there. I live in Idaho...so maybe my potatoes are even cheaper. I recently got 15 pounds of potatoes for $2.49. That is only about $.17 per pound!
Today I want to focus on mashed potatoes. Whenever I make mashed potatoes, I always make extra for future meals. They are so yummy and versatile. They also freeze really well. I have been known to put use an ice cream scoop to scoop some potatoes onto a cookie sheet, let harden in the freezer, then put into a freezer bag. When I want a quick side dish, I just grab a few scoops and microwave. Easy! Here are some of the other great ways you can use leftover mashed potatoes:++Hamburger or round steak stroganoff - use mashed potatoes instead of egg noodles. YUM!
++Mashed potato hot dogs - sounds gross but they are really good! My husband grew up with this. You basically split a hot dog in half open it and put a few scoops of mashed potatoes on top. Top with grated cheese and bake until the cheese melts.
++Recently I made a concoction of cut up polish sausage put into a small casserole dish, topped with mashed potatoes and cheese and baked until the cheese melted. My family LOVED it!

I posted about leftover mashed potatoes on my Leftovers blog once. Here is a link to my post and ideas. :)
My grandma always made mash potato hot dogs and they were the best. Everyone does tend to think I'm weird when I tell them about it though. Glad to know I am not alone.
we fry up some garlic in butter then add the potatoes til they soften up. it's really good.
Nice information.....Thanks for sharing....
