What in the world?? I hear you saying…
Yes, left overs and raiding the pantry are the parents of invention this week.
Not doing our usual market shop routine threw us out a bit this week, but I had left over mashed potato.
Tuna patties, boys?
Looking in pantry, a tin of smoked oysters was discovered.
How about smoked oyster patties?
BINGO!!

Mashed potato, smoked oysters, egg, finely diced celery, finely diced red onion and parsley and some breadcrumbs later we formed some decent sized patties to pan fry.

Served with a little salad, a surprisingly really delicious lunch for about $5.
Left overs and your pantry–the world is your oyster.
