Potato Volcano
- 6 red potatoes
- water
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 c. broccoli florets
- 1/4 c. milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- .67 c. grated Cheddar cheese
- 1/4 c. whipping cream
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Put the potatoes chunks into the pot with the salt and enough water to cover them by at least three inches.
- Boil the potatoes for about 12 minutes, or until they're soft.
- While the potatoes are boiling, steam the broccoli florets by putting 12 inch of water in the small pot with the broccoli.
- Cover the pot, and cook 7 minutes on medium-high heat.
- Turn off the stove, and get an adult to drain the potatoes in the colander.
- Then dump the potatoes back into the pot, add the milk, and mash, mash, mash until you've gotten all of the lumps out that you can!
- Taste the mashed potatoes.
- Add the salt and the pepper until the potatoes taste delicious to you.
- Remember, the cheese will boost the flavor of the finished dish.
- Then form the potatoes into a cone on the serving plate.
- Use the fork to make ridges, so it looks like a craggy mountain.
- Make a crater indentation at the top that looks like a little bowl.
- Pour the whipping cream into the mixing bowl.
- Whip the cream with the electric mixer until it forms soft peaks.
- Stir in the cheese.
- Spoon the cream and- cheese mixture into the volcano crater.
- Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the cheesy lava is bubbling and oozing down the sides.
- Remove the potato volcano from the oven (use your potholders), and decorate the base of the volcano with broccoli.
- Wait for the lava flow to cool before you devour this delicious disaster.
