The article from Food & Wine provides a variety of creative and delicious ways to repurpose leftover mashed potatoes.

Another idea is to make shepherd's pie, using the mashed potatoes as a topping for a meat and vegetable filling. For a simpler approach, the article recommends using leftover mashed potatoes to thicken soups or as a base for potato croquettes, which can be breaded and deep-fried. Additionally, they can be turned into potato bread or rolls, adding a unique texture and flavor. The article also mentions making potato gnocchi, where mashed potatoes are combined with flour and an egg to form a dough, which is then shaped into dumplings.
