Part 6/9:
Incorporate sautéed garlic and onions into mashed potatoes for a savory waffle batter. Add eggs, Parmesan cheese, and a touch of flour, then cook in a waffle maker until golden and crispy. Top with sour cream, chives, or spicy chutney for an unexpected yet delicious brunch or snack. These waffles resemble hash browns with a crispy exterior and soft, savory interior.
8. Leftover Ham and Mashed Potato Casserole
Combine mashed potatoes with diced ham, cheddar, fried onions, and a touch of mustard for a quick casserole. Spread in a dish, top with remaining cheese and onions, and bake at 375°F until bubbling. This dish is an excellent way to repurpose holiday leftovers into a hearty, cheesy bake with a crispy topping and creamy interior.
