Ingredients

  • 600 g cold leftover mashed potatoes
  • 100 g wheat flour
  • 100 g eggs without shells
  • 120 g shredded mozzarella
  • 20 g chopped scallions
  • 30 ml vegetable oil for frying

Method

  1. Mix cold mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, mozzarella and scallions into a shapeable dough.
  2. Shape the mixture into 8 equal patties.
  3. Heat half the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
  4. Brown 4 patties for 4 minutes per side until firm and 74 °C (165 °F) in the center.
  5. Repeat with remaining oil and 4 patties for another 8 minutes; serve hot.

Presentation

Serve 2 golden patties per person.

Suggested pairing

Use leftover mashed parsnip instead of potato, adding a little flour if needed. Without leftovers, boil and mash 600 g potatoes.

Storage

Refrigerate the finished dish in shallow covered containers within 2 hours at 4 °C (40 °F) or below. Eat within 3 days of when the original leftovers were cooked; preparing a new dish does not reset this limit.

Make ahead

On Christmas night, refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours in shallow covered containers at 4 °C (40 °F) or below. Use within 3 days of the original cooking date; freeze dated portions for longer storage. Thaw in the refrigerator, never at room temperature.

Food safety

Discard leftovers held unrefrigerated for over 2 hours or with uncertain handling. Reheat previously cooked foods to 74 °C (165 °F) at the center only once; do not reheat again. Chill cooked rice promptly because of Bacillus cereus risk. Check allergens: gluten, milk, eggs, soy, plus possible cross-contact with nuts, fish or shellfish. When in doubt, discard.
