Potato Power!

Yesterday was Manual at View Road School and we had to plan our own potato dish. Arabella and Kelsey decided on something that they called 'Spudtastic' also known as potato puffs. They got their recipe from Alison Holst's 'Best Potato recipes'. Here's what they did:

We brought in all the ingredients that we needed that Miss Harris didn't already have. Kelsey cut the potatoes, so Arabella could make mashed potatoes. She also diced the ham, grated the cheese, and cut the crusts off the bread and cut the bread into quarters on 3 pieces of bread, then placed the 12 pieces of bread into cup cake cases, while Arabella was making the mashed potatoes.

When the mashed potatoes were done, we mixed the ingredients together with an egg that we had cracked into the bowl, and then we spooned the mixture into the 12 cup cakes cases on top pf the bread.

We put it in the oven and wait 20 mins, and put it on fan bake for 5 minutes to hold the ingredients together.

We took them out and paper scissors rock to see who would choose their 'Spudtastic' first - Arabella won, so she chose first.

Miss Harris asked if she could try one, because they looked really yummy and were delicious!

She said that they were really good, that we worked well together and we kept our area tidy and organised, and cleaned while they were in the oven.

When we got back to school, Miss Harris had already phoned Waiuku Primary School to tell our teachers that we were the best Year 7's in all of Waiuku!

We felt really fantastic, because there are lots of different schools in Waiuku and we were the best! Our teachers were impressed and both Kelsey and Arabellas' mums said that they have to make it for dinner one night.
