I usually make shepherd's pie when I have leftover mashed potatoes but I'm looking for something that combines the potatoes with the stuffing. Any tasty ideas? I'll take separate ideas too.

Not totally sure about mixed ideas but here are some things we do with them separately. The stuffing is great in a turkey wrap with cranberry sauce and mayo (kind of like Thanksgiving day in a wrap - deli turkey or leftover chicken works too). For the mashed potatoes, you could use them in a stew or soup thickener, make potato pancakes, twice-baked mashed potatoes, or if you have time, you could make homemade gnocchi which is a potato-based pasta. Sometimes I'll just reheat them with some added extras (cheddar, bacon crumbles, roasted garlic). I am getting totally hungry just thinking about all these yummy things!

OK Now I'm hungry again. :P I'm thinking this, why not make the shepherds pie but with a layer of stuffing under the mashed potatoes?

Sounds like a fun twist although leftover mashed potatoes in my house usually translates to potato pancakes or potato soup. :)

Why not add a little rotisserie chicken and wrap it up! If I need a meal in a jiff... I'll toss leftovers in a wrap :-) (Pot roast wraps are especially yummy)

Guess what? I'm now in the mood for Shepherd's Pie...haven't made it for ages so I guess I'm now headed out to the garage to do a recipe inventory! lol

Shepherd's Pie is totally a craving food. Once I think of it, I can't get it out of my head until I eat it. :P
