    This Mashed Potato and Mushroom Quesadilla makes a quick, filling and tasty lunch or even dinner. Anytime you have leftover mashed potatoes, don't hesitate to make this delicious treat.

    I've posted a classic Mashed Potato Quesadilla a while ago and it was a big success. I received so much positive feedback, that I decided to take it a step further and add earthy mushrooms and sweet onions to it. What a wonderful combination! Don't you agree?

    Now, let's get to business and start cooking. Here is a list of ingredients needed:

    • 4 medium whole wheat or flour tortillas
    • 1 ⅓ cup leftover mashed potatoes
    • 2 tbsp butter
    • 1 medium onion, thinly sliced
    • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
    • 2 cups grated cheese (mozzarella, Gouda, provolone, Muenster)
    • salt and pepper

    1. In a large skillet, saute the onion in butter on a medium-low heat for about 7 minutes, until it softens and starts to brown.

      hello!
      i am diabetic so when i look to the nutritional information, i need the best explanation of how many carbs PER and what has 15 carbs?

      example : your nutritional information here says 15 carbs. the recipe says serves 4. so is this 15/serving?

      thank you for helping with my special needs with your recipes!

        Hi! I am using an automatic nutrition calculator. Please, double-check these with your calculator of choice (MyFitnessPal, for example). Both tortillas and potatoes are high in carbs. Happy cooking!
