Still Going Through The Leftovers.....

I think like most people I have had nothing but leftovers for the past few days..... 

Don't get me wrong, I do love the leftovers. Its the only time of the year to enjoy such a great feast that keeps on giving and giving and giving. I think what I enjoy most is how it lends itself to creativity, although my favorite standby is just putting everything in a bowl and covering it with gravy.

The Thanksgiving Leftover Pie only lasted two days, so it was time for something new today. Ill be honest this could be the last day of leftovers because it is time to stop eating with abandonment and eat healthy, maybe salad or something.....

So with that in mind I went overboard with today's creation:

Pan Fried Stuffed Potato Pancakes:

As always it was simple. 

• I took two handful of mash potatoes and made them into separate "patties". 
• I placed a little turkey and stuffing on one half, placed the other half on top and sealed the edges. 
• In a small dish I combined bread crumbs, salt and pepper. I covered both sides of the pancake with the bread crumb mixture. 
• I heated about two tablespoons of olive oil and half a tablespoon of butter over high heat. Its important that the heat is high in order to sear the potato so it doesn't fall apart. 
• Cooked the first side on high then turned the heat down to ensure the middle was hot and did the same with the other side. 
• Be careful when flipping the pancakes because they are very soft and delicate.

I served it with gravy and cranberry sauce:

For me it is time to say farewell to the leftovers and I think I honored them well. 

Now time to start talking about the month of December and what to bring to parties and Christmas dinner.......
