What scicaro said - potato scones. Or tattie scones as we call them in Scotland:
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 35 minutes
Ingredients:
1lb/500g potatoes, cooked and mashed
1 oz/30g butter, melted plus extra for greasing
1/2tsp salt
1 medium egg
4 oz/125g flour, plus a little extra for rolling out
1tsp baking powder
Preparation:
Preheat the oven to 395°F/200°C/Gas 6
Place the mashed potato in a large baking bowl and add all the other ingredients to form a sticky dough.
Roll out the dough on a floured surface to approx ½ inch/1 cm thickness. Cut into saucer sized rounds then score a cross into the dough to mark 4 equal wedges.
Grease a baking sheet with butter and bake the scones for 15 minutes until golden brown and risen. The scones can also be cooked on the stove top on a griddle or heavy based frying pan. Cook the scones 5 minutes on either side until golden and risen
Eat while warm.

If you make the potato patties thin and add some onion, and fry them to crispy you get what I call "cheaters" latkes.

How the heck did you end up with 1/2kg of left over mash?!?!?
Mmmm, I'd just warm it up and serve it smothered in butter and black pepper!

freeze it.
add some interesting spices and serve as a side to something not normally with mashed potatoes, like curry or morrocan stew.

Eat it! (I don't think half a kg of mashed potatoes would last very long in my home.)
