Recipe: Leftover Mashed Potato Recipes

Chocolate Potato Cake
2 c. sugar
1 c. shortening (I use crisco)
4 eggs
1 c. warm mashed potatoes
1/2 c. cocoa
2 c. flour
1 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. nuts, optional
Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat until light and fluffy. Combine dry ingredients and add them alternately with buttermilk. Stir in nuts, if desired. Pour into a greased and floured 9X13 pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 to 40 minutes. Cool and frost.
Potato Cakes (I like these for breakfast)
In a bowl of cold mashed potatoes (about 2 cups), stir in two beaten eggs and salt and pepper. Add a couple of tablespoons of flour and 1/2 tsp. baking powder to make a stiff batter. Drop in a skillet of oil and butter, melted and fry until golden brown.
