Leftover Ham & Potato Croquettes Microwave Miracle

Thanksgiving Leftover Recipe #1


Thanksgiving leftovers? Yeah, me too. But honestly not as much as I had hoped, but I guess that's what happen as the kiddos get bigger.

We get a Honey Baked Ham for Thanksgiving from my dad every year, (Thanks Dad!) so my leftovers recipes will be including a lot of ham. First up are your leftover ham and mashed potatoes.


Get out your blender! We're blending ham.


Okay...come back. I tried finely chopping, but it was taking toooo long and since this is Fast Family Feasts, I wanted to speed it up. So go get your blender or food processor. 

This came out good with some trial and error. The first batch I didn't cover, and they came out too dry. So I would suggest covering for the first part of the cooking process.
