Ingredients

  • 1 large potato
  • 1 cherry tomato
  • 1 button mushroom
  • slice Thin of feta cheese
  • A few black olives
  • 1 string cheese
  • 1/2 avocado
  • Also: cocktail sticks to secure

Instructions

  • Bake the potato according to your preferred method - I usually start off in the microwave for a few minutes (depending on the size of the potato), until the potato is nearly soft in the middle, then place it in the oven at about 190°C (Gas Mark 5 / 375°F) for twenty minutes or so to crisp up.
  • Make sure the potato will lay flat - use some cocktail sticks underneath as legs to keep it sturdy if you need to.
  • Using a cocktail stick, add the cherry tomato to the middle of the potato to act as a nose.
  • Chop the button mushroom in half, and secure each half to the near side of the potato to act as feet.
  • Cut two circles out of the feta cheese, and place them above the nose to create eyes. Cut a smile shape, and place below the nose to create a mouth. I found I didn't need to secure the feta at all, it just rested on the potato.
  • Cut two tiny circles out of a piece of black olive, and place on the white eyes to create pupils. Cut another slice of olive in half to create two eyebrows, and fashion a moustache out of another piece. Place in the appropriate places on the potato.
  • Halve the string cheese lengthwise, and then cut each piece down to about 3 inches long. Separate the first inch of each piece into four or five fingers. With more cocktail sticks, secure the 'arms' to the two sides of the potato.
  • Finally, secure the avocado half to the far side of the potato as a hat (I needed to use a couple of cocktail sticks for this, as the avocado is relatively heavy).
