For 6 servings

¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
6 servings Flour, for dredging
6 servings Leftover gravy
½ cup grated Parmesan
3 cups mashed potatoes
6 servings Grey salt and freshly ground black pepper

Re-season potatoes with salt and pepper, stir in cheese. Take a mayonnaise or peanut butter lid, line with plastic wrap to use as a mold.

Remove from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
