    An essential part of the culinary heritage of Pakistan is the celebration of food with family and friends embedded in the concept of ‘dawat’ (feast). And anyone who hosts a ‘dawat’ (feast) knows that there’s always leftovers to deal with. As delicious as Pakistani Dawats (feast) are, you can only have so much roasted meat and stuffing for a meal. Instead of having the same food for the next day, transform the dishes into new ones!

    Leftover Mashed Potato Pancakes

    Last week, we hosted a ‘Family Dinner’ and made the ‘Roasted Chicken with Mashed Potatoes. We usually use leftover roasted meat for a sandwich or rolls with the apricot or mint chutney (sauce), gravy and stuffing, but what about the mashed potatoes? Add some flour, egg and cheese and turn them into mashed potato pancakes! Great for breakfast, lunch, or as a side dish or light dinner . A Perfect way to enjoy leftover potatoes and the flavor combinations are endless!

    I love making these Potato Pancakes whenever I have leftover mashed potatoes so I don’t feel like I’m eating the same thing the next day. Serving size will change depending on how much mashed potatoes you have leftover. This works best with cold mashed potatoes.

    These are as easy to make as normal pancakes – just mix together the mashed potatoes, flour, eggs, cheese, green onions and seasoning. Then cook the batter in a large pan until golden brown.

    With their crispy exterior and creamy, cheesy center, there’s not much to dislike here. I recommend topping these with a sour cream or garlic mayo.

    You can really get creative with the seasonings and add ins in this easy recipe!  Pretty much anything in your fridge is game… add some spices & herbs, a little bit of meat/protein and whatever veggies you have on hand!

    Remember to revel in your own amazingness for reducing food waste, saving time and making the best breakfast ever 🙂

    Aloo Tikki was one of the first few things I learnt to prepare as a young teenager growing up in Pakistan. Of course it  was mommy’s recipe which now has my input as well. These mini cutlets used to be part of my school lunch box for the  longest of time. It didn’t end there.  While studying at school, coming home late kind of became a normal. And these tikki’s became a life saver for the hungry  student.

    Believe it or not that even today, this particular item (Aloo Tikki Burger) is part of my lunch box at Uni almost daily. So you can imagine my un-ending love for these Aloo Tikki’s. This one is a treasured recipe. I would also share another version of potato cutlets at some point in time which are filled with winter vegetables and a  very special ingredient. The mango powder is the magic ingredient here that transforms the boring  potatoes in to a super star!  They are yummlicious and tastes great when served hot with green chutney or tomato sauce.
