Leftover boiled potatoes often end up being thrown away, but did you know they can actually be transformed into delicious dishes? Here are some creative recipes to give your leftover boiled potatoes a tasty makeover.

1. Cheesy Potato Pancakes

Turn those leftover boiled potatoes into cheesy and crispy goodness by making potato pancakes. Here’s a simple recipe to get you started:

  • 2 cups of leftover boiled potatoes, mashed
  • 1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, grated Cheddar cheese, flour, egg, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to coat the bottom. Scoop a spoonful of the potato mixture onto the hot pan and flatten it with a spatula. Cook each side until golden brown and crispy. Serve with sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce.

2. Loaded Potato Salad

Give your classic potato salad a twist by using leftover boiled potatoes. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 3 cups of leftover boiled potatoes, diced

  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup diced red onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 4 slices of bacon, cooked and crumbled
  • Salt and pepper to taste

In a large bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream. Add the diced potatoes, red onion, parsley, and crumbled bacon. Season with salt and pepper, then gently toss until everything is well coated. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This loaded potato salad is perfect for picnics and barbecues.

3. Potato Croquettes

Transform your leftover boiled potatoes into crispy and flavorful potato croquettes. Try this recipe:

  • 2 cups of leftover mashed potatoes
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying

In a mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, Parmesan cheese, green onions, bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated. Shape the mixture into small balls or cylindrical shapes. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer. Fry the potato croquettes until golden brown and crispy. Serve as an appetizer or a side dish.

4. Potato and Veggie Frittata

Leftover boiled potatoes add heartiness to a veggie-filled frittata. Try out this recipe:

  • 2 cups of leftover boiled potatoes, diced
  • 1 cup of mixed vegetables (e.g., bell peppers, onions, mushrooms)
  • 6 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (e.g., mozzarella, cheddar)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for frying

Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the mixed vegetables and sauté until they are tender. Add the diced potatoes and cook for another minute. In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, shredded cheese, salt, and pepper. Pour the egg mixture over the vegetables and potatoes in the skillet. Cook for a few minutes until the edges start to set. Transfer the skillet to a preheated oven and bake at 375°F (190°C) for about 15 minutes or until the frittata is fully set and lightly golden on top.
