It's no secret that they prepare for the New Year's feast in almost a month. But what to do when the hostess cooked, and the guests did not eat the treats? I offer several options for how to use the remaining products after the holidays.

Almost every New Year's table has both olives and pickled cucumbers, which are ideal as ingredients for a hodgepodge. With meat delicacies, you will be able to cook both stewed cabbage and pizza.

Pancakes or mashed potatoes

You can make a casserole, mashed potatoes or potato pancakes from potatoes by simply adding an egg, herbs and fantasy. And potato sticks with cheese, which are prepared simply (additionally, flour, eggs and cheese will be required).
