Yes, to make something like hash browns. If you spread it thin and bake it you can make a sort of potato bread.

I've made a kind of thick soup with a couple of spoonfuls in a pint of water....... I'm not sure how nice that was as I'd "had a few"

I was thinking of sorta extruded potato flour 'fries'..... Now I'm going to have to 'speriment myself

You'll need something to bind them, such as cornflour. Gnocchi recipes?

Hash brown type things would be a gift! Would half an egg (per person) be a better binder?

Gnocchi is easy and can be made using instant mash and flour. Example recipe here:

Nice! Eating instant mash as, y'know, mash, is really survival level, but cooking it to produce something like this is much nicer.
