Ingredients
Serves: 1
- 3 small white potatoes
- 1 Tbsp olive oil
- ½ can of beans
- ¼ cucumber
- 2 slices carrot
- 2 slices red pepper
- 1 slice yellow pepper
- small handful grated cheese
Method
- Preheat oven to 200°C (Gas mark 6/390°F).
- Scrub the potatoes, then drain and pat with a clean tea towel or kitchen roll until completely dry.
- Prick all over with a fork, then place in a roasting tin along with the olive oil.
- Give the potatoes a good shake to coat them in the oil, then bake in the oven for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes, give the potatoes another good shake and bake for another 15 minutes or until golden and cooked through.
- Once cooked, remove from the oven and leave for 5 minutes to cool a little.
- Whilst the potatoes are cooking, prepare the monster features ready to decorate the potatoes.
- Using a mini cutter, cut two circles each from the carrot, yellow pepper and cucumber skin for the eyes (you could also use the wide end of a piping tip if you don't have a suitable cutter). Cut smaller circles for the pupils. Cut two rounded tongue shapes from the red pepper, and spikes for the cucumber for hair.
- Whilst the potatoes are cooling, heat the beans according to pack instructions and spoon onto the plate.
- Once cool enough to handle, cut a split across the top of each potato and squeeze them slightly to open them up – these will form the monster mouths.
- Arrange the potatoes on the plate around the beans.
- Decorate with the vegetable eyes, tongues and hair, and add grated cheese for extra hair.
- Serve immediately.
