Tired
of serving up the same ol' meat and potatoes?
Try this fun,
easy vegetable carving project for the holidays or anytime...
You'll need:
-
medium
red potatoes
-
sharp
knife
-
apple
corer
Instructions:
1.
Wash potatoes and pat dry.
2.
Insert apple corer about 2 inches into the middle of a potato.
3.
With the corer still inserted, lay potato on its side and use
a sharp knife to cut down until you hit the side of the apple
corer. Begin slicing all around.
4.
Remove the corer. (If you intend to cook the potatoes, reserve
the potato 'circle' that remains for later.)
5.
Peel away small circles of potato skin to resemble mushroom
"polka dots", as shown. (optional).
If
not intended to be cooked, sprinkle potatoes with lemon juice
to prevent them from turning brown. Otherwise, cook potatoes
in roasting pan until tender. Hint: use the leftover potato
circles as stands to keep potato mushrooms upright while baking.
Serve
with steak, roasts or chops.
