Mashed potato volcanoes

Peel the potatoes and chop into chunks. Put into a pan of salted water, bring to the boil and simmer gently for 15 – 20 minutes until soft and tender.

Towards the end of the potatoes’ cooking time, cook the other veg that you’re using.

Switch off the heat and drain the potatoes through a colander. Return them to the pan for a couple of minutes to dry off any remaining water.

Put the butter and milk into a microwavable bowl or cup and heat briefly until the milk is warm and the butter is melted.

Mash the potatoes, (or use a potato ricer) until they are smooth. Add the butter and milk mix, mash in and season to taste.

If you’re adding grated cheese pop that in and stir through.

Pile out half the potato mix onto each plate and smooth into a volcano shape.

Make a well in the centre and add the ketchup lava then arrange the additional vegetables around the foot of the volcano.

Serve immediately and be prepared for any eruptions!
