Foraging Friday - The Ugly Spud

This fortnight's forage was particularly difficult as my inspiration, stock and budget has been considerably lower than usual.

I had frozen some leftover savoury pie mince a few weeks before but it was not enough to feed five. Fortunately, I had potatoes and had recently been looking at twice baked potato recipe I came across on pinterest. 
This is nothing like it and ten times more ugly but I was pinspired to create "The Ugly Spud".....


*Cut 5 baked potatoes in half.
*Remove skin and mash 4 halves with butter, milk and seasoning (as desired) 
*Mix savoury mince with mashed potato and pile atop remaining 6 potato halves.
*Top with grated cheese and bake until cheese has melted.


I just scraped through with this foraging challenge thanks to the ugly spud and little bit of pinspiration.

The possibilities are endless with baked potatoes!
What's your favourite filling?

When you say, "Winter Comfort Food," I immediately think pudding. Steaming hot pudding. Butterscotch has got to be my all time favorite. The first pudding I ever made, all those years ago (not that many though), in my mother's kitchen. A childhood com fort that I can share with my own children, sitting together by the fire. Butterscotch Pudding ---Ingredients--- 1 1/2 cups Self Raising Flour 3/4 cup Brown Sugar Pinch Salt
