I am wondering how you would make this with leftover mashed potatoes. Would you leave out the water and just combine potatoes, milk, butter, and stuffing with the rest of the ingredients. We never have instant mashed potatoes on hand. Thanks for the great blog!
Yes, just use the leftovers, combine with the milk, butter and eggs to hold the bites together and continue with rolling. Thanks for stopping by!
That’s great news. You started to lose me when I read instant mashed potatoes!!
