Bacon blue cheese mashed potato waffles with eggs. Mix together 2 cups of mashed potatoes, 1 large egg, crumbled bacon, and blue cheese to form a sticky dough.  Add salt, pepper, and butter to taste, and then scoop a serving into a hot waffle iron.  Cook until the edges are crispy and repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve topped with crispy bacon and a poached egg.

Thanksgiving breakfast egg rolls. Dice the leftover turkey and place into a bowl, adding carrots and leeks.  Separate and flatten spring roll wrappers, and put a base of last night’s mashed potatoes.  Take a tablespoon of the leftover turkey over the potatoes and roll into bite-sized pieces, sealing the wrappers with a beaten egg wash.  Pan fry the rolls for 3 minutes, remove and drain in a lined strainer with paper towel.  Slice the rolls diagonally and serve with heated leftover gravy or cranberry sauce.
