When I was a financially challenged Uni student, I often cooked this cheese & potato snack using a mini toaster oven. However, a non-stick frying pan works better. If you don’t have a non-stick frying pan, you can place a sheet of baking paper in a frying pan, so that the melted cheese won’t stick …
First of all, this is not my invention. Many years ago I read about transforming Spaghetti into ‘Ramen’ Noodles.

The leftover Mashed Potato doesn’t taste great next day. What do you use it for? Don’t throw it away. Why don’t you make it into soft rubbery Mochi?
