Make a huge batch of them in your crockpot so they can get wonderfully soft and will mash easily. Here's a delightful recipe that you can make lighter with Greek yogurt in place of heavy cream.

Leftover ideas: Shepherd's pie, potato fritters or cakes, soups, casseroles, croquettes, dumplings, burritos (don't knock it 'til you tried it), sandwiches and even donuts.
