At my restaurant we serve a lot of entrees with a side of Idaho® mashed potatoes and while I love how popular this is with our customers, we often end up with extra. I would like to use these up before making a new batch…any suggestions on what else I can do with them?
Left over mashed potatoes can make a mean potato gnocchi, that’s one of my favorite ways to mix it up with extended uses for mashed potatoes.
