Moosh

It is mashed potatoes- can be leftover, onions, cheese, butter, ham. That is the basic, you add whatever is around. Leftover, fresh whatever. I would change the veggies, cheeses, and meats.

It is a good comfort food, in fact I had leftover mashed potatoes and yesterday I made myself some moosh with onions, cheddar and ham.
