Mash 'em and make stuffed potato rissoles. Here's a recipe I posted
some years ago.

What I do is better made with freshly-prepared mashed potatoes, but will
work with left-over ones, too.

Finely mince or grind some boiled, fried, or roasted meat or chicken and
mix it with some finely minced fried onions, salt and pepper. Form
patties, or rather flat rissoles, out of mashed potatoes, make a well in
the centre of each one and fill it with the meat. Close the well,
optionally paint the rissoles with an egg yolk, roll in some flour and
fry them in (clarified) butter or oil on both sides until golden brown.
Serve with mushroom sauce.
You can also use fried mushrooms and onions, mince them finely and use
them as a filling, and serve the rissoles either with mushroom sauce or
with sour cream. Of course, you can omit the filling altogether, but
the result is not nearly as interesting or tasty.
