@CalminHeart  My Mom did the same for mashed potatoes and added a little chopped onion to them.  I have tried to make them, but mine did not turn out right.  Think she floured to make a crust, but I'm not sure

Back when I was a kid, people used lard to fry food and it made everything crisp on the outside. I have never used it but it was cheap and common in the 50s and 60s.

I always laugh when I see people don't eat leftovers. Well, you wouldn't be eating at all in my home. When I make a meal we eat it for days after to finish it up. Most of the time it tastes better. We just finished off my spaghetti dinner that we ate for a solid week.... 7 days! It was delicious!!

I divvy up leftovers into Pyrex meal-sized containers for DH. I stack them in the frig or else freeze them so he can pop them into the microwave for a quick lunch or dinner if I'm not around. Nothing goes to waste. 

My mom used to fry those leftover mashed potato patties too.

@Desertdi   My husband would have starved or cooked his own meals, if he would not eat leftovers.

My late DH didn't mind leftovers, either did my kids when they were home,

Sometimes I made extra meatballs when we spaghetti and used them for meatball subs.  Extra roast beef or prok became hot rb/pork sandwiches etc.

If I did all the grocery shopping, prep and cooking you bet your bippy I had leftovers and used them

My feeling was the person who bi*ches about leftovers  cooks.

We eat leftovers for another meal or if it's a lot one of my kids will come by and get them.  A lot of our meals I will make more to give to them.  It's just DH and myself.  Many times if I am browning ground beef I will freeze to use for tacos or mix in with spaghetti sauce.  Food is too expensive for us to waste.
