As a person (ahem) of a certain age and life experience, I am thrilled to see you taking this new perspective. Definitely, for me anyway, retro, but perhaps new for more recent generations and definitely with a very salient -- green -- sensibility. But I want to say that in my household, "leftovers" as we used to call them were always seen as a snack, a breakfast (yes, last night's dinner was fair game if it wasn't enough for a dinner), a lunch, a second dinner as is or transformed into something else. Even salad, on a bread that would soak up the dressing. The last piece of pizza or a cupful of spaghetti was fought over the next morning. So thank you for making this concept contemporary and relevant. Many of my colleagues at work, of different generations, think eating "leftovers" is declasse -- even the ones who are definitely on a budget. I hope the sensibility you promote here becomes cool and accepted. And, of course, your actual ideas are great.

Using mashed potatoes, I add grated cheese, mix, use an ice cream scooper to form into Snowballs place balls in greased muffin tin and into the iven until lightly golden. The recipe is on my profile. 😋

My grandmother Mae Connors made these and now so do I. Leftover mashed, an egg, some flour s/p, and any leftover chicken or meat chopped up, form patties, coat with crumbs. Fry in butter. Nothing at all like a latke, but delicious.
