[–] Wiz@midwest.social 3 points 1 year ago (2 children) Not OP, but what do you do with the leftover potato scoops? Do you save it for eating later? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] NABDad@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) My wife would kill me if we wasted any part of the potatoes. We've done a couple things with the insides. Sometimes we pan fry the bits in butter with some sauteed onions to have at breakfast the next day. Last time was the first time I used a melon baller. When we saw the almost perfect potato balls, it was almost automatic to deep fry them, add a little salt, and just eat them like that. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Wiz@midwest.social 4 points 1 year ago Yum! I'll be right over! permalink fedilink source parent [–] Mouselemming@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago* Not them, but mashed potatoes! You'll need to add more milk than if you boiled the potatoes, but that's good calcium you're getting. Could also be an ingredient for gnocchi. It would freeze fine, because you're gonna smoosh it around after thawing anyway. You might as well cook the whole pack of bacon too, because frozen cooked bacon slices are convenient and keep well. permalink fedilink source parent
