Yeah, I know it soulds kind of silly, but we have a load of smashed

Or failing that, what *do* you do with six cups of cold mashed potatoes?

Gnocchi would work fine; I've made them. No recipe, just played it by ear.

Also, mashed potatoes can be added to bread dough. You aren't going to use
up a whole lot, though.

Potato pancakes are another option. You'd get a different texture than when
you use grated spuds, but you'd get the flavor.

What about assorted pies like shepherds or cottage or even fish pie all of
which have a crust of mashed potato

Are those 'taters dressed? How?
If not, they're perfect for gnocchi.

That's the best way to make things as gnocchi: just start the
work and guide it to a successful goal.

Mushed potatoes of thursday, IMHO, are good only for trash!
BTW I wouldn't make gnocchi, with it. I would make "Crocchette di Patate"
with mozzarella inside. It's better frying thos old potatoes !!!!!

I don't think that ond could make gnocchi, because old potatoes are too hard
to make a dough for gnocchi, IMHO.

What if they were warmed first? And if I've never made nor eaten
gnocchi, how do I "just start the work and guide it to a successful
goal" if I do not know what the goal is? What is an approximate ratio
of potato to flour? Does it involve an egg? Salt? Milk? Water? How
do I know if texture and consistency are correct? Enlighten me, Vilco
and Pandora. Prego.

To make gnocchi you must peel potatoes when they are hot! Then you have to
mush them when they are hot, because they have also a little water inside.
I don't know if the potatoes that you have are with or without skin.
BTW try to recool them in microwave with some water (I have never did it),
then mush; let them cool then put 1 egg and all the flour (1-2 cups) that
you need to make a dough similar (but more tender) to the pizza dough.
Cut in little pieces and then put in the boiling water:they are ready when
they come to the surface. Season.
I don't know! Try and let me know
Cheers

When in doubt, I make patties out of leftover mash, adding an egg, maybe
some flour, whatever seasonings/herbs i feel like and sometimes some
cooked veg. Shape and fry. Good with a green salad. If there is butter
in your mash, I don't know how well it would do in gnocchi.

BTW, i LOVE gnocchi. Have fun whatever you decide to do.

I've heateed them with milk & stock for a quick potato soup.

Top a shepherds pie/not too soupy meat and veggie stew and bake...but I
think you'd have to eat this right away after baking; I don't think
freezing potato things works (or rather, potato-based things are not so
appealing once they're defrosted.)

Use them as the topping over the chopped up leftover turkey and gravy
mixed with vegetables for a kind of cottage pie, or mix some egg in with
them and fry in patties in bacon grease for breakfast, or just eat them
with or without gravy.

Though it was mentioned in an earlier post to use leftover mashed potatoes
in bread dough, let me add they also work very well in Chicago-style pizza
dough. I have also added veggies and cream for an on-the-fly potato soup.

Thicken soups.

Make potato patties (yum).

Heat with corn and butter and stuff myself. :-)

Make a very yummy but very unorthodox potato salad -- add chopped
onions and celery, mix in a little mayo, salt, and pepper (or bottled
italian dressing instead of the mayo), and eat.
