Leftover baked potato?
 

One way to use a cold leftover baked potato is to make potato salad with it. Just peel (it's easy cold) and dice the potato. In a bowl, mix up some mayo, a small amt of mustard, a little finely chopped onion, sweet pickle, A tsp or 2 of the pickle juice, how much? Just wing it! I did, and it was very good. Just combine everything and add a little salt and pepper. I love potato salad but almost never make it because I can't leave it alone until it's all gone...so I just don't make it. This small size is ideal.

sounds good to me

I make potato salad with baked potatoes but I don't peel them. I don't peel potatoes for any potato dish. Sometimes I slice the baked potato into wedges, cover with cheddar cheese, bake until cheese melts.

Great idea. I had never thought of making single-serve potato salad.

I cut mine up (with skins) and put them into a small frying pan with butter or coconut oil. Add onions, peppers, celery and bits of ham or bacon. Maybe add a little milk just before they are done.

I love this idea! Wish there were more of this type "recipe" for singles or two adult households. Seems we throw away too much food or have to eat the same things for 2 or 3 days straight!!

I make hashbrowns or fried potatoes from leftover baked or cooked potatoes, it's just enough for hubby. I'll have to try potatoe salad.

Make a quick casserole with left-over baked potato and left-over meat; hot dogs,hamburger; most anything. A quick and nutritious dish for a lunch with a salad, glass of milk and pudding or some quick dessert. Quick meal; tasty and good!

I have made small servings of potato salad with leftover mashed potatoes. My grandma only made potato salad with mashed potatoes. You just need to be very careful portions when adding, a little can be a lot!

This site has many single "in a mug" recipes.

Leftover baked potato?????? When does one ever have a leftover potatoe? I love potatoes any way I can get them so rarely do I ever have one leftover. But I like your idea and will keep that in mind as I also love potato salad too.

You can use the leftover baked potato (skin on) to make a small amount of potato soup by adding onion, bacon bits, leftover corn (optional) and cream or milk or fat-free Half and Half.

...or cut up like for potato salad, add chopped tomatoes, onions, wine vinegar and EVOO, salt, pepper to taste, basil.....Italian potato salad...at least that's what my mil called it....great in the summer.......

I make potato salad with olives instead of pickles. When my friend was having chemo she said that was the only thing that had a decent taste. Now we both make it that way.

Cut them into 6mm slices and fry them in butter, just enough to get crispy.
I often peel an extra potato in the evening and hook out 2-3 pieces parboiled,to fry up in the morning with eggs for breakfast

Sounds yummy....

I always bake extra for fried potatoes another day.

Always remove foil from extra baked potatoes. When foil's left on, the potato gets dark spots and you may end up throwing it away when you had other plans for it.

I told the college-age grandkids, if there's cold boiled potatoes, cold cooked rice and hard boiled eggs in the refrigerator, you won't go hungry.

There are two things we do with left over baked potatoes.

One is slice them thick and fry them in butter for breakfast mojo potatoes and the other is cut them in half the long way, scoop out the center, mash the center filling up with salt, dried onion, grated cheddar cheese and plain yogurt, fill the boats and bake in the oven.

I have also made potato salad before but it was not our favorite probably because I was too lazy to peel them.

How about a twice baked potato? Slice off part of the skin to make an opening, hollow out the center and put in a mixing bowl. Add sour cream, cream cheese, minced onions, bacon, pepper, garlic seasoning (I don't add salt, the bacon and cream cheese provide salt) -- basically anything you want and just enough so it tastes good. Using a mixer, beat everything together until it is well mixed. Put back into the emptied potato skin heaping it up. Bake about 20 minutes, until heated through. You can make this from one or a whole crew (though I skip the skins and use a big baking dish for a crowd)

Nobody mentioned old fashioned bread potatoes. Yummy! Use any kind of left over potatoes. Slice or cube potato or use mashed potatoes. Add stuffing bread cubes or tear up a couple slices of fresh or leftover bread or buns. Put in a skillet with a little oil or butter, or fry and crumble a piece of bacon in the skillet first. Add the potatoes, and just about anything else you like, like onions, or chopped celery or canned mushrooms, or seasoned salt and pepper. Mix an egg or two in about a cup of milk. Pour over it to moisten the bread, stirring well. Don't add too much to make it soupy, just nice and moist. Cover and "steam" over med heat until its the consistency of stuffing. Remove lid and turn up the heat and fry it, stirring and turning until it browns. You can use regular or canned milk. Serve as is or with leftover gravy. Can be a breakfast food or serve with any meat in place of scalloped potatoes, etc. Once you make it, next time you can get creative and add all sorts of left-overs like veges or meat to it.
