Potato fast fantastic
This is a sort of no-crust vegetable flan that cooks in the microwave in minutes. It's good warm, but cold leftovers can be cut into wedges for finger food. For littlies leave out the garlic if you wish; it’s good either way.

Instead of a silverbeet leaf, try Asian greens. Ideal for this is Chinese flat cabbage; a much smaller plant than silver beet, it has little round, dark green leaves on white leaf stalks. Use 5 or 6 of the tiny leaves in place of 1 silverbeet leaf. |
