Potato mice

You may not like mice much, but you’ll have great time making these with the kids.

Ingredients:

• 4 potatoes 
• 1 spoon oil
• 5 spoons milk 
• 30 g butter 
• 60 g grated cheese 
• Salt and pepper
• 4 radishes 
• 4 cherry tomatoes
• Spring onions or turnip green stems 
• Chives 
• 8 sultanas 

Method:

1. Wash the potatoes, dry well and prick with a fork, and put them on an oven tray. 
2. Cover them with a layer of olive oil and put in the oven. Bake for about an hour at 200°C until soft. 
3. Leave to cool and slice off a lid. Then scoop out the pulp with a spoon. 
4. Mash the pulp with a fork or a wooden spoon. 
5. Add the butter, milk, cheese, salt and pepper and mix well. 
6. Put back into the potato skins and sprinkle with a little grated cheese. 
7. Pop under the grill for a few minutes until golden. To make mice, use the spring onion or turnip green stem for a tail, the cherry tomato on a cocktail stick for the nose, and chives for the whiskers. 
8. Finally, use two sultanas for the eyes and two slices of radish for the ears. 

Aren’t they cute? Now you try!
