Leftover potato salad is a common dilemma for many families during the Christmas season. Instead of wasting it, consider transforming it into delicious new dishes.
Potato salad, typically short-lived due to ingredients like mayonnaise and onions, can be creatively repurposed. Here are some innovative recipes:
Potato Salad Patties:
Mix 100g of breadcrumbs and one raw egg into the leftover salad until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small patties, coat them in breadcrumbs, and fry until golden brown.
Serve with your favorite dip, like garlic sauce.
Potato Salad Pie:
Grease a pie dish with butter and dust with breadcrumbs.
Combine flour, cream cheese, and butter to create a sticky dough, wrap it in plastic, and chill for 30 minutes.
Roll out the dough, line the pie dish, and fill with a mixture of cream, eggs, cheese, and potato salad.
Bake at 190°C for about 40 minutes until golden.
Potato Salad Pastries:
Mix diced sausage with grated cheese, one egg, and potato salad.
Roll out puff pastry, cut into squares, fill with the mixture, and fold the edges to create pastries.
Brush with egg wash, sprinkle with seeds or herbs, and bake at 220°C for 10-15 minutes until golden.
These recipes not only reduce food waste but also introduce unique flavors to your holiday table.
