Mashed Potato Stuffing Cakes
I have a love/hate relationship with leftovers, depending on what it is. These Mashed Potato Stuffing Cakes is one that I love, since it uses up all those holiday leftovers such as potatoes, stuffing – and even turkey if you wish.
You can make this with your own homemade stuffing, or boxed stuffing for ease. I find this ingredient to be the shining star in my Best Meatloaf Recipe Ever.
It’s nice to have another Stovetop Stuffing recipe in my repertoire, proving that they can be purchased for meals aside from using just for stuffing alone.
Mashed Potato and Stuffing Patties are perfect for lunch, a potato side dish, or as a snack. Crispy on the outside and soft in the middle, the texture sure does compete with the amazing flavour.
Best of all, they are so easy to pull together. You simply mix all the cooked ingredients, and fry each side in oil. Use a spatula to flatten each ball, yet as a warning, if you flatten too much they might crumble.
This recipe does have a lot of wiggle room to make it as you wish as well. Add in turkey from a holiday dinner, and you have use for all key holiday dinner leftovers. Then, top with sour cream and green onion, and you have Loaded Mashed Potato Stuffing Patties!
If you’d like, also add in crumbled bacon or some veggies – you can even top with ketchup! We made these as per the recipe as a snack and side to meat, yet you can stuff them with more ingredients for a stand-alone lunch or dinner on their own.

This recipe is another reason to look forward to those holiday meals, and easy enough to make any day of the week. Enjoy!

These look really good, and a great way to use up the leftovers in a different way, but I always have a problem when making potato cakes, think I will have to give this one a try!!
I can never think of a way to use up leftover mashed potatoes so I will definitely be trying this recipe.
I made your recipe yesterday from left over mashed potatoes I had from dinner the night before. I used boxed stuffing and they came out great. My family loved them with sour cream as you suggested. I did put just a pinch of hot pepper flakes in them but that’s because I love a bit of spice. Thanks Tammi for sharing this recipe.
These look incredible. What a great way to re-purpose leftovers, I pinned this gem.
I would like to try these but the recipe itself doesn’t seem to be here.
So sorry for this, we had some technical difficulties. It’s fixed now!! 🙂
I made these exactly how you posted but instead of throwing them in a frying pan with oil I cooked them in the waffle maker!!! So good ? nice and crispy brown on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside plus they look like waffles and who doesn’t like waffles!?!?
Kelly… Genius!!!! Now where the hecky darn is my waffle maker!
These were delicious and a great way to use leftovers.
