Fritters!
Put a bunch of mashed potatoes and some corn in a bowl. Crack two or three raw eggs into it, and stir with a fork. You should have something that is the consistancy of ready-to-serve oatmeal.
Melt a pat (maybe 1/2 a tablespoon) of butter in a hot pan, and put forkfuls of fritter batter in the butter to fry.
Carefully flatten the forkfuls out with a spatula (so you don't scrape the pan!). Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste. When they start to look brown at the edges, flip them.
I love my huge crepe-flipping spatula, but something smaller works better. Don't worry, the first several will get all scrunched up, and break when you flip them. It's not an art project, just frying potatoes; if one gets mangled, just cover it with more cheese.
Sprinkle with a little parmesan, a little cheddar.
What do you think kids?

Looks yummy. Great idea. I love creative use of leftovers.
Looks good! I wish we had leftovers...
I think it's a culinary rule; you can fry anything. If it's a paste before you fry it, you made a fritter! Woohoo!
