Make Potato Pancakes:

1 large egg
2 cups mashed potatoes, chilled
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper


Stir 1 egg in a large bowl to blend. Mix in the potatoes, then the flour and salt & pepper to taste. Using a generous 1/2 cup of potato mixture for each, form the potato mixture into 4 (4 1/2-inch) diameter pancakes.

Heat the oil in a large nonstick fry pan over medium heat. Fry the pancakes until they are golden brown and heated through, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the pancakes to paper towels to drain.

Shepards Pie

2 pounds of potatoes
4 tablespoons of butter
1/3 cup of milk
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of ground pepper
1 1/2 pounds of ground beef
1 jar of beef gravy (12 ounces)
Preheat Oven to 400 degrees.

Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut into chunks. Put into a medium sauce pan and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, then turn down to simmer. Simmer for 20 minutes or until tender. Drain. Mash with milk, 3 Tablespoons of the butter (save the remaining 1 Tablespoon to dot on the top of the Shepherd’s Pie) and salt and pepper. (For creamier mashed potatoes, add a bit more milk.)

Brown the beef in a frying pan. Drain off excess fat. Stir in gravy.

Spread meat mixture over bottom of 2 quart baking dish.

Top with mashed potatoes. Fluff the top of the potatoes with a fork. Dot with remaining 1 Tablespoon of butter

Bake for 30 minutes or until golden. (You can put the Shepherd’s Pie under the broiler for the last few minutes to brown the top. Be sure to use a broiler safe baking pan.)

My vote is for shepards pie. Mine is a little different though. I do not use gravy I use cream of mushroom soup and I add carrots, corn, peas, and grated cheese. Yum, such comfort food.

yes, I second this!

I made potato croquettes and I added a little blue cheese in it. You Do not need to add much. I used panko crumbs.

My MIL makes the best stuffed hot dogs,with mashed potatoes!
All she does is cooks the hot dogs,splits them down the middle fills them with mashed potatoes and sprinkles shredded cheddar on top and broils them for a few minutes!
