I have been so hesitant to share a “mashed potato” recipe because it seems to be one of the biggest hit and miss recipes all over the thermomix community. So after some extensive testing in our house and in many others here is my thermomix potato garlic mash.
Now what do you do with the leftovers?
- Popped a handful of shredded cheese or shredded onion in and then mixed and then spread the mash over a lined lamington tray and popped into the freezer – once frozen take out and cut into large squares for reheating on the BBQ (gets a nice crispy crust) for when you want to not cook at all 😀
- Make some potato croquettes
- Enjoy a mashed potato sandwich with some leg ham
What are some of the ways that you have used your leftovers?

I love the idea for freezing. I have lots of potatoes that need using at the moment and there are only two of us so I will get lots for the freezer if I make this quantity. Looking forward to trying the barbecue slices. Thanks.
My pleasure Judy 😀
I’m so delighted to find this recipe – my mashed spuds weren’t turning out properly for me. Thanks so much. On weekends, if I have leftover mash, I make potato cakes for brunch …delicious ….
Ingredients
450 g cooked potatoes
25 g butter (melted)
3 tblsp flour
1 tsp salt
40 g butter (for frying)
Method
To the mashed potatoes, stir in the flour, salt and pepper.
Turn the mixture onto a floured surface and press it out with your hands until it is a circle about 1cm/half inch thick, use the rim of
a glass to cut the mixture into rounds, about 7cm across..
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over a moderate heat and, when the foam subsides, fry the potato cakes for about 3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden.
Lift them out with a spatula and drain on kitchen paper.
Pile them up on a warm serving plate – enjoy them!!
oh YUM Trish – your potato cakes sound delicious! I can’t wait to try them! Thank you for sharing with us. 🙂
