Try It: Fourth of July Leftover Recipes

Don't toss those leftover burgers and potato salad just yet.

Not sure to do with all those hamburger and hot dog leftovers from Fourth of July. Don't toss them just yet. Patch has scoured the Internet for some ideas of what to do with what's left after the last firework pops.

Potato Salad Latkes: It's one of the favorite Fourth of July dishes. But most people inevitably make more potato salad than what you can eat. Add a little corn starch to spoonfuls of potato salad and you've got latkes, according to this recipe from Main Street.

Hamburger Tortillas:  Got a few burgers left over? Why not crumble them up and put them in tortillas with Mexican toppings. Check out how to perfect this dish, according to this Main Street recipe.

Baked Bean Dip: Sure, we know you live by your grandpa's baked bean recipe. But if by chance it isn't a hit at this year's cookout, don't sweat it. Transform your baked beans into this zesty dip recipe that can be served with tortilla chips or as a baked potato topping.
