I have an abundance of potatoes from the garden right now, I also have a lot of mashed potatoes in the fridge. This inspires new creative ways to use them, so any recipes appreciated!
Vegetable Samosas with leftover garlic and cheese mashed potatoes
1/4c + very finely diced onion
1c shredded carrot
1/4c shredded zucchini (you could add more or sub for some of the carrot)
3/4c frozen peas
1 1/2c + mashed potatoes
1tsp mustard seeds
1/2tsp mustard powder
2tsp Graham Marsala
2 TBS apple cider vinegar
1/2 + tsp salt
1pkg Fillo dough
Brown onion in a little olive oil add carrot and zucchini and cook 2 mins more add frozen peas and spices stir then add the mashed potatoes and cider vinegar. Stir and adjust seasoning to your taste adding more of anything you desire. Preheat the oven to 350. Cut the fillo sheets in 3 inch by 14 inch strips, the fillo is kind of hard to work with as it is very thin and delicate try to keep it covered so it doesn't dry out otherwise it crumbles. One at a time spray sheet with oil and put a Tbs or so of filling in one corner. Fold it triangular all the way down the strip of fillo. This takes a little practice and they don't all look perfectly uniform but they still taste yummy. Continue with the rest of the fillo and filling and place them on cookie sheets brush with oil and bake in the oven 23 mins. Spread or dip into Basil Cilantro sauce when eating.
*I did not add garlic to the potato mixture because my potatoes had garlic in them however I would have put it in with the onion otherwise.
Cilantro Basil Sauce
Big handful of Cilantro leaves
Big handful of Basil leaves
1 Jalapeno
1/2tsp salt
Juice of one lime
1tsp grated fresh ginger
1tbs water
2 cloves garlic
Put all ingredients into a food processor and pulse until smooth! Refrigerate until ready to use. If you don't do spicy you may remove the rib and seeds from the jalapeno for less heat.
Shane Gobbled these up, and they were relatively easy and quick the hardest part was working with the Fillo.
Next I will attemt some scalloped or Au gratin potatoes.....
