Vickys Rudolph the Reindeer Baked Potatoes
- 1 baking potato, skin on but scrubbed clean
- 2 pasta twists such as fusilli for antlers, I used gluten-free pasta
- 1 small handful of peas, reserving 2 for eyes
- 1/2 cherry tomato for nose
- Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and microwave on high for the time suggested by your microwave wattage.
- My micro is 750W and my potatoes take 9 minutes.
- You can bake in the oven by lightly rubbing the pricked potatoes all over in oil and wrapping them in foil then baking for an hour at gas 4 / 180C / 350F but the microwave is a quicker option if you're only doing one or two
- Cook off the pasta as directed on the packet or use leftover pieces like I did
- Cook a handful of peas in boiling water for a few minutes until done.
- I had sweetcorn to use too so I threw some in
- Now take a cocktail stick and cut it in half or quarters so it's shorter.
- Push one end into the end of the potato and push the 1/2 tomato onto the other end.
- Rudolph now has a nose!
- Use a knife to notch out some little holes for the eyes and bigger ones for the antlers.
- Squirt a little ketchup inside to help keep the antlers in place.
- The antlers need a good hole, I put the point of a sharp knife in and just 'cored' out enough space
- You can split Rudolphs back and add any topping of choice such as grated cheese, tuna, coleslaw, anything that you like or leave them as they are
- Serve Rudolph on top of the rest of the peas you cooked
