Deeeelish.
I cooked some spuds up especially ( well why not..they're worth it!).
We loved these...even the none potato loving 7 year old ate one without the usual amount of moaning and groaning!!
I'm going to make these with breakfast next time...reckon they'll be fab with a fried or poached egg sat on top!

Yum!! We absolutely loved these. Instead of using leftover mashed potatoes I just boiled a few, peeled off the skin (mostly, we left some of it), and mashed the flesh. What a wonderful change of pace from roasted potatoes! My family has already asked me to make sure these stay in the rotation :). Made for Veg Swap January 2012.
