hi there

well i dont know if this recipe would even get a mention as i saw it on a tv program from the uk but it went down a treat with my daughter so thought i would share it with other mothers.......


its called POTATO HEDGEHOG

2 medium/large sized potatoes peeled and cooked
1/2 tin or small tin of spaghetti or baked beans
grated cheese

peel and cook potatoes then mash them and put them on a baking tray lined with baking paper to make getting it off easier. put about half the amount of potato on the baking tray and make into a oval shape building up the sides (well in the middle) add the spaghetti or baked beans (which ever yr baby likes) then add the rest of the potatoes over the top all the while making the shape of a hedgehog and then using a fork make what looks like little spikes over the top of it (make a face and body) cover with grated cheese and put in the oven till nice and golden brown and heated through. take it out of the oven let it cool and then take it off the baking tray and paper and serve to your child as a good healthy snack or even lunch dinner.

hope that someone else gets to enjoy this recipe as my daughter has
so simple to make and they think its just the bees knees
