Featured Recipe: Baked Potato Soup
Leftovers are a desperate cooks’ best friend. We sometimes cook extras intentionally for a jump start on dinner down the road.
A Kitchen Scoop reader, Richard Pachter, says he took a cup of mashed potatoes and made a delicious Potato Kugel. (Check out his recipe under comments on Alicia's "I Still Cook Large" blog post.) What creative leftover tricks do you have up your culinary sleeve these days?

When we make our Perfect Baked Potatoes, we often bake extras just to use in this soup. We like ours sinfully loaded, but without all of the extras, it’s a low-calorie meal.

What you're saying..
I started reading Desperation Dinners along about the time I became a "stay-at-home" mom (what an oxymoron!) and needed both intellectual stimulation and something different - ANYTHING different - for dinner.
In those early days, I cooked strictly by the rule book, no deviations. But over the years, you two have given me the confidence to try rotini instead of penne, to substitute, experiment, become confident. Thank you!!
Honestly - - all three of my DD books are stained, tattered, splattered, and loved. I've given DD as gifts to new moms, to new wives, and to young friends just out of college. Can't think of a more practical, useful present.
I appreciate all the recipes, but really like the bulk-cooking ideas.
Thanks for everything!!
