These baked potato mice are almost too gorgeous to eat!

You will need:

  • 4 potatoes grated cheese
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp oil salt and pepper

To decorate: radishes, spring onions, cherry tomatoes, raisins, chives

How to make it...

step 1
1. Wash the potatoes and pat them dry. Prick the skins with a fork and put the potatoes on a baking tray. Brush them all over with oil.

step 2
2. Bake the potatoes until they are soft. Medium-sized potatoes take about one hour in an oven heated to 400ºF (200ºC)

step 3
3. Cool enough to handle? Then cut off the tops and carefully scoop out the soft potato tops. You can throw away the lids (or eat them).

step 4
4. Mash the soft centres with the butter, milk, and cheese. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then pop the mixture back into the potato skins.

step 5
5. Sprinkle with cheese and cook your potatoes under the grill for a few minutes until they are golden.

step 6
6. Make a nose and whiskers with half a tomato held in place with a toothpick and chives tucked behind it. Finish decorating with raisin eyes, radish ears, and spring onion tails.
