We had several baking potatoes left over and so decided to bake them all in the oven. We prefer them oven-baked, but with one or two we'll usually microwave them. After eating some, we still have three left over. Any suggestions on what to make with them?

Make potato salad.I actually think making it with baked potatos instead of boiled gives it more flavor. Another good thing is twice baked potatoes. Cut them in half lengthwise and scoop them out of the peel, mash (cold) with butter, grated cheese, a little cream and bacon bits, chives and an egg and salt and pepper. Spoon back into the potato jacket, and bake at 350 for bout 20-30 min, as soon as they come out, sprinkle a little more grated cheese on top to melt. Make a few extra to reheat in the microwave later. For some reason, they are even better the next day.

How about making home fried potatoes with those extra potatoes? Just steam the potatoes until they're fork tender. Chop them up
into fork-size chunks an fry them in a pan with a bit of vegetable oil or butter over medium heat, throw a bit of paprika and fresh ground pepper on them, cook for five minutes or until the bottoms are golden brown, flip the potatoes over, add more spices, and cook a bit more until they're golden brown on the other side. Besides being good with eggs at breakfast time, home fried spuds go great with steak and broiled/baked chicken.

I like all the above suggestion, but if you ever have leftover potatoes and cabbage or Brussels sprouts, mash them together and fry in some sort of fat for bubble and squeak.
I used our leftover mashed potatoes for patties - you could do the same with your baked ones. Added a little cream, cream cheese, minced onions, spices, and dipped the patties in egg mixture and homemade bread crumbs, then fried till crisp.

Hash browns or home-fries.
The trick to making hash browns or home-fries is to cook them twice, so left-over baked potatoes are an opportunity to be
capitalized on!

Twice baked is always nice. Scoop the flesh out of the potatoes and leave the shells intact. Mash the warmed potato with a little milk and butter as if you were making mashed potatoes. Then (here's the fun part) add a pinch of grated cheese, cooked bacon, diced green onion, maybe a pinch of cream cheese. Blend it all together and then put it back in the potato shells. Bake them again, about 20 minutes. YUM!

Sunny Paris, if you have it, and some cream cheese or sour cream makes wonderful twice baked potatoes.
Similarly, if you don't have Sunny Paris, use Boursin or Alouette cheese. Good stuff!
