Mashed potato volcanoes
These mash volcanoes are a great way of getting the kids enthused about vegetables as they create the perfect lava eruption for dinner.
This recipe was created by Luke Willcox - New Product Development team.
SEASON
Spring
/
Summer
COMPLEXITY
Simple
PREPARATION TIME
10 minutes
COOKING TIME
20 Minutes
SERVES
Serves 2
Ingredients
300g potatoes (Desiree works well, but any creamy all-rounder would do)
75ml milk
20g-30g butter
30g grated cheese (optional)
Salt and pepper
Ketchup ‘lava’
Additional veg to serve – broccoli ‘trees’ and pea ‘boulders’
Method
1
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.
2
Towards the end of the potatoes’ cooking time, cook the other veg that you’re using.
3
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.
4
Put the butter and milk into a microwavable bowl or cup and heat briefly until the milk is warm and the butter is melted.
5
Mash the potatoes, (or use a potato ricer) until they are smooth. Add the butter and milk mix, mash in and season to taste.
6
If you’re adding grated cheese pop that in and stir through.
7
Pile out half the potato mix onto each plate and smooth into a volcano shape.
8
Make a well in the centre and add the ketchup lava then arrange the additional vegetables around the foot of the volcano.
9
Serve immediately and be prepared for any eruptions!
