Mashed potato cookies If anyone would like a new way to use up mashed potatoes, I can recommend these cookies. They are moist, spicy and not too sweet. Also good are these bannock bread and potato doughnut recipes, of course.

Or you could just give your leftover mashed potatoes to me, and I'll see that they're taken care of.

Those cookies sound marvellous, I love those spices.

I might make mashed potatoes just to make these cookies!

There's also candies you can make. (One of my coworkers made them in peanut butter and coconut varities and the peanut butter ones were gone by noon.)

I keep instant mashed potatoes on hand solely for baking with, leesh. I actually hate mashed potatoes and only have leftovers whenever I've hosted a family do, as all the Swans but me love mashed potatoes.

I actually have a whole bunch of potatoes from my CSA and would rather make cookies than like a curry, so this is perfect. :)

I guess this wouldn't work so good with garlic/truffle mashed potatoes. But I'd be willing to try it. Once.

I'd try those in the bannock bread, Splunge. It could be interesting!

"Use up" mashed potatoes? People have mashed potatoes left over? Not in my house, there are no leftover any kind of potatoes. I EAT 'EM ALL NOM NOM NOM.

I must try these!

TPS, try saving some back the next time you have them and make mashed potato pancakes. This recipe is probably close to what my mum did when she made them minus the seasoned salt and bigger pancakes. I know it was very simple.
