How to Make...
POTATO NESTS
Make Potato Nests with the mash, using:
1 egg, beaten
410g tin baby peas and/or sweetcorn
Pre-heat the oven to 200°C.
When cool enough to handle, place the mash in a piping bag with a large star nozzle. Pipe 4 round (or square) cases on a greased baking sheet & egg wash the tops. Brown the cases on the top shelf of the pre-heated oven for 10 mins.
In the meanwhile heat the peas and/or sweetcorn and fill the nests once they have browned. Serve immediately.
