Leftovers

What's better than a freshly home-cooked vegan meal? Vegan leftovers! Tonight's dinner was an epic combination of vegan leftovers that I felt I needed to share. My idea was inspired by a potato sandwich at the Roebling Tea Room that I didn't order because of wealth of animal products included in it.

This weekend I happened to have some leftover mashed potatoes, made with earth balance and soy milk as well as bit of tofu, perfect for frying. I fried up the tofu, using curry power and cumin as the spices. Then I heated up some mashed potatoes and put the it all between two slices of grain bread. Here's the result:



Overall my creation was filling and quite yummy. However, I may not have added enough curry powder for the flavor to come through. Next time I'll probably add some rooster sauce or Texas Pete for some extra flavor. Anyone else have ideas for fun leftover combinations?
