Potato Poopies LOL
Okay now the big meal is over and you have a whole mess of mashed potatoes leftover huh? What to do with mashed potaoes is right around the corner LOL. I call this recipe Patato Poopies, just because when I first made them when it hit the hot grease and splashed, it kept making me say oh Poop. My kids liked the name so I kept it.
Potato Poopies
Left over mashed potatoes.
2-3 T. flour
1-2 eggs this depends on how much poatao is left.
1/4 of a small onion grated
1 clove of garlic mashed
salt and pepper to taste
In a pot that is at least 4 inches deep. Heat oil for deep frying or, use a fry daddy or, a deep fryer. Heat oil to 375 degrees or until a drop of water dripped into it crackles and disappears fast.
Mix all of the above ingredients together until well blended.
Now drop by rounded tablespoonfuls into the deep fat. Fry until they are light and golden brown. Serve these along with your meat and veggie in place of ordinary potatoes. They are very flavorful and different. I seem to always make a little extra mashed potatoes just so I can make these.
Note: You can skip onions or garlic if you dislike either of these and add other ingredients.
I have made them with cheese in them but, it has to be a hard cheese like romano or parmesan. Also you can use roasted garlic in them. They are really excellent.
