Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups leftover mashed potatoes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup cooked vegetables (e.g., peas, carrots, or spinach)
- 0.5 cup cooked bacon or ham (optional)
- 2 stalks scallions, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 cup breadcrumbs or panko
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a 9-inch pie dish or cake pan with the butter and coat it evenly with the breadcrumbs or panko to prevent sticking and add a crispy crust.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the leftover mashed potatoes, eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Fold in the cooked vegetables, bacon or ham (if using), and half of the sliced scallions. Ensure everything is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Spoon the mashed potato mixture into the prepared pie dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30–35 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
Sprinkle the remaining scallions on top for garnish before slicing and serving.
