Leftover Parmesan Mashed Potato Patties are so good, you’ll want to make sure you have extras next time you make mashed potatoes!!
Leftover Mashed Potato Patties
I don’t care for leftover mashed potatoes, but I love making these mashed potato patties whenever I have leftover mashed potatoes so I don’t feel like I’m eating the same thing the next day. A fun way to re-purpose leftovers!
Serving size will change depending on how much mashed potatoes you have leftover. I wrote this recipe assuming you have half a batch of leftover garlic mashed potatoes. This works best with cold mashed potatoes.
What You’ll Need:
Here’s the ingredients to make these leftover mashed potato patties. See recipe card below for measurements.
- Leftover mashed potatoes – the star of the dish. This is best cold out of the fridge.
- Eggs or egg whites to hold the breading.
- Grated Parmesan cheese – to mix with the breadcrumbs
- Italian seasoned breadcrumbs – you can also make your own.
How To Make Leftover Mashed Potato Patties
Leftover mashed potato patties are baked in the oven. See recipe card below for printable directions.
- Preheat the oven to 425F. Spray a baking sheet with oil.
- Fill a small bowl with egg whites, whisking well.
- Fill another bowl with the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese, mix to combine.
- Using a 1/3 cup measuring cup, form potatoes into 8 patties.
- Brush patties with egg whites (or you can use your hands to spread egg on), then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Place patties onto the baking sheet and spray the top with more oil.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until the bottom becomes golden brown; flip and cook an additional 10-12 minutes, until golden on both sides. Garnish with parsley, if desired.
