Handy mash from leftovers

When you have left over mashed potatoes from a meal, scoop the potatoes into small balls, place them on a cookie sheet and put the sheet in the freezer. Once completely frozen place them in a labelled and sealed freezer bag. When making potato soup (or any other cream style soup) use the potato balls in the soup to give a creamier, thicker texture. You can use a melon baller to make small, bite sized potato snacks. Just roll in breadcrumbs and shallow fry until golden.
