Recipe challenge: mismatched leftovers = dinner?

Yummy.. all I see is a big beautiful with-lots-of-stuff-in-it omelette with toast.

Maybe have a nice lunch tomorrow with the potato and chick breast and green beans. Give the half a yam to your dog, they love them!

This screams omelette (with fried potatoes).
With a baked potato/yam salad as a starter (cut in pieces, add mayo, and parsley).

Make a frittata.

@rebbel TBH, I’d give all the leftovers to the dog and just have the big omelettes….all those are dog friendly.

Toss it all in a casserole dish with sliced mushrooms and boiled, sliced potatoes. Add some oil, shredded cheese on top, bake, add parsley.

Thanks, all, you’ve got me thinking. There are at least two meals here. Omelettes are great and I make them a lot (especially with spinach, mushrooms, and cheese), but I’d prefer to save the eggs for another meal. I’m not actually trying to put everything into one dish—just really hoping to figure out if I can combine the baked potato and yam with anything, such as other potatoes.

I just remembered that I also have about ½ pint of sour cream. Hmm.

Bon appetit!

Makings of brunswick stew if I have ever seen it.

@gorillapaws Tortilla espanola

I looked it up. Yes. Oh my

^^ That sounds wonderful. I watched a video on it once and was instantly sold. It looked a little techniquey, though—maybe best tried in a restaurant first?

Anyway, my plans have been completely derailed now by unforeseen events, so it looks like a foraging night.

What I was going to do, after considering the options and all suggestions, was this: boil and mash a few more potatoes, blend with my one baked potato and some sour cream, put in a baking dish, and swirl in the yam like the chocolate in marble cake, and then put in the oven for about 20 minutes, with some shredded cheese on top for the last 5.

If the planets that govern leftovers ever align this way again, that’s what I’ll try. Meanwhile, I’m nuking some cold chicken.

And an omelette is in our near future.

Here’s what I would do:

Twice baked potato. Bake/microwave one or two of the raw potatoes. Warm the baked potato (I assume it’s cold in the fridge at this point) a little in the microwave, then cut the baked potatoes in half lengthwise, spoon out the majority of the white part, smash with some milk (not as much milk as mashed potatoes) a little salt, place back in the potato, top with cheese and broil to melt and brown the cheese.

Cut the baked yam in quarters, or slice in rounds, and serve with butter on the side.

Slice the mushrooms and sauté them in a little garlic salt, add more salt to taste, and at the very end add the spinach. Or, do the mushrooms with the green beans.

Slice the chicken breast (remove the meat from the bone) so each person can take a few slices, the person who doesn’t like breast can have the thigh.

I’d save the green pepper for an omelet in the morning, you can add the spinach to the omelet also, or have fresh spinach salad on the side with the omelet.

@Jeruba There is a technique to it. We hosted an exchange student from Spain for several consecutive summers when I was in High School. I’ve never been able to make it as well as she could (but they came out pretty tasty all the same). It’s definitely worth watching a few YouTube videos and giving it a go sometime when you’re in the mood to try a new recipe and have some eggs, potatoes and onions to use up.
