Instructions

In a large frying pan, melt 6 tablespoons unsalted butter or vegetable oil over medium heat without browning.
Add 1/2 cup finely chopped onion and fry for 3 minutes until soft.
Increase heat slightly, then add 1 pound mashed potatoes, 1 cup finely chopped leftover vegetables, and optional chopped meat.
Fry for at least 10 minutes, continuously turning to reheat thoroughly and brown the mixture; occasionally press it to the pan to crisp the edges before turning.
Once heated through, press the mixture onto the pan's base, cook for 1 minute, then flip and repeat.
Season with salt and pepper, and serve with a fried or poached egg.
