I almost never have any leftover mashed potatoes to make pancakes to be honest. My DD eats them all before I get a chance LOL!!! I froze the mashed potatoes plain that one time when she was gone.

Hopefully, someone else has a recipe for you.

I need to stop at the store and buy some spuds then cook them up and pretend they are leftovers so I can try this recipe all in one sitting.

I'm so sorry, but I don't have recipes! Remembering my aunt's, I have "winged it" and made these a couple of times using the stated ingredients to taste. It would depend on the amount of potatoes! She ciukdctake leftover mashed potatoes, warm them in saucepan, mix in mayo or miracle whip, onion, mustard, celery seed and have warm potato salad. Sometimes she sautéed  some celery first. The other was typical German potato salad-- cook and crumble generous amount of  bacon and put that in the mashed potatoes in a saucepan and then warm vinegar and sugar ( not a lot or the mashed potatoes get soupy) in same skillet you cooked the bacon in, creating the taste you prefer, whether it is sweeter or more vinegary, and stir that into the mashed potatoes. I'm sorry I can't be more specific. You can google German potato salad. There may even be a mashed potato version online.

I have a Scandinavian background, so I always make lefse out of leftover mashed potatoes!  And right now is a great time of year to do that!  Yum!

Potato pancakes are a great idea for leftover mashed potatoes.  I had some leftover at Thanksgiving and made potato/leek soup.  My parents thought it was pretty tasty.  I used a basic Martha Stewart recipe (found here: http://www.marthastewart.com/332291/potato-leek-soup).  I was suprised it received only 3 stars on her website as we thought it was devine.  I only added chicken broth so it wouldn't be watery and did not add water.  Oh, and I had a couple Yukon gold potatoes left, so I chopped them up and cooked them in the broth with the leeks.  I removed a few before putting the soup in the blender, so it would have some chunks of potatoes and a few colorful pieces of leek.  I called it potato/leek soup, and then after my elderly parents said it was delicious, I told them they had, in fact, eaten Vichyssoise!
