We had ham for Christmas and I've been using the leftovers all over the place. Last night I came up with a twice baked potato dish that was tasty and easy. If you don't have ham, you can replace it with either bacon or even sausage.
I made more than we could eat in a meal - froze the rest for snacks for the kids. I do this with pancakes and waffles, too. It's very easy. Lay each piece on a cookie sheet so that nothing is overlapping. When frozen, move to a freezer container. See - it's simple.
