Instructions: Heres a happy home for leftovers. The vegetables will vary according to the season. A small amount of leftover lentil, pea, or bean soup may be stirred in with the vegetables to good advantage too;

Unless you have leftover mashed potatoes, steam potato chunks or cook them in fast-boiling water until soft. Mash well, adding milk and salt. Save the potato water for breadmaking.

Cut broccoli into florets and stems. Peel and slice the stems in 1/4" rounds. Wash spinach thoroughly and cut into bite-size pieces.

Preheat oven to 350F.

Saute onion in oil. Add broccoli, green pepper, and carrots, then the basil and bay leaf. Stir well and add tomatoes. Bring to a boil, cover, turn heat to low, and simmer for 15 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Stir in spinach. Add salt.

Put vegetables into a 9" x 13" baking dish. Spread potatoes over top and shake paprika over all. Bake for 10 or 15 minutes, until the potatoes are piping hot.

Serves 4 to 6.
