These Leftover Mashed Potato Cinnamon Rolls are the absolute best! You can’t taste the mashed potatoes at all. Sweet, easy and the perfect way to use up leftover mashed potatoes!

 

 

I can only imagine what your first thoughts must be when you read the headline, Leftover Mashed Potato Cinnamon Rolls.

Perhaps it’s that they are weird, strange or even gross.

Maybe you are thinking it’s a practical joke – like an April Fool’s Day recipe.

Or the headline could intrigue you, since you can’t imagine that mashed potato cinnamon rolls could be any good – despite how tasty they look photographed.

Well my dear friends, I am here to tell you that these Leftover Mashed Potato Cinnamon Rolls, are hands down the easiest and tastiest cinnamon rolls I’ve ever had.

 

 

Bar none.

The fabulous thing about these is that you CANNOT taste the mashed potatoes.

I don’t care if your mashed potatoes were fully loaded or garlic and herb.

You can’t taste them.

In fact my children, who hate mashed potatoes, LOVE these cinnamon rolls.

The staff at my daughters school are also fans.

And ALL OF THEM were shocked when we told them they were made with leftover mashed potatoes.

 

 

So what made us a bit crazy in thinking this was a good idea?

It all started off with the simple idea of taking leftover mashed potatoes and making dinner rolls.

Potato bread and potato rolls aren’t a far fetched thing, so instead of cooking up fresh potatoes, we decided to use leftover mashed potatoes.

Our Leftover Mashed Potato Rolls were an instant hit.

A hit with beginner bakers as well as experienced bakers.

We then branched out and made Leftover Mashed Potato Bread.

 

 

Again, a huge hit with everyone who tried it.

Once again, no one could tell there were mashed potatoes in the bread.

Then, my brain started to itch in wondering how these would do as a cinnamon roll.

And so I whipped up another batch of dough, made cinnamon rolls and smothered them in my favorite cream cheese frosting.

As you can expect they were DIVINE.

So easy, so tasty and a massive hit with everyone who tried them.

 

 

So what’s the big idea using leftover mashed potatoes?

Really, it all has to do with the Holidays.

After a large holiday meal like Thanksgiving, Christmas or Easter, we always have leftover mashed potatoes.

This year, on the website, my goal is to roll out several recipes that re-purpose leftovers into something new and fresh.

These Leftover Mashed Potato Cinnamon Rolls are a by product of me trying to re-purpose leftovers into something easy and delicious!

 

 

My husband and I are huge fans of mashed potatoes, but we can’t eat them day after day in the form of leftovers.

So instead of them going to waste, we now re-purpose them into baked goods – which really is one of my most brilliant ideas ever.

If you love cinnamon rolls, then you really should try these Leftover Mashed Potato Cinnamon Rolls.

They are a favorite of our family and will be with yours too!
