My mother used to make some savory ones with leftovers- mashed
potatoes, corn,and an egg to bind it all, and it was dropped by the
1/4 cup into a pan and fried (sort of) in a bit of butter. I have not
even thought of them in 25 years, at least. They were thought tasty
enough that sometimes the leftovers were quite deliberate.

I also know of ones (not made by me, but I have had them) of corn
kernels, flour and egg and prepared as above. Cooked cauliflower can
be done the same way.
