You’ve probably encountered the problem of excess garnish. More often than not, we make more mashed potatoes than we need. Potatoes are not a particularly expensive vegetable, so we are not afraid to dispose of them if we have too much mashed potatoes.
However, we usually do not dispose of the mashed potatoes correctly. If you simply throw the garnish in the garbage, you should stop doing this. From such machinations with products, the environment and animals suffer. Animals find leftover food in garbage cans and feed on it. In doing so, they then experience serious digestive problems.
There are more rational ways to use a side dish not consumed in time. We will tell you one of the ways how to make potato tortillas.

- potatoes – 400 g;
- flour – 550 g;
- sugar – tsp;
