Cottage pie style potatoes

MAF suffers from atopic dermatitis or eczema, a kind of skin allergy which he has inherited from my asthmatic family. He suffered a lot of rashes and itching during the first 1 1/2 years of his life but now he is doing pretty well, the occasional bouts of itching come and go, and most of the time cause is unknown. The good thing I found in it is that he has a pretty healthy diet, I rarely give him sweets, sweets are occasional treats, and he rarely asks for them and is happy with the 2 sweets he gets every now and then after a meal. Although now we give him Oreo and popcorn from the popcorn man. :) He loves his veggies, which is one thing I actually consider as a blessing so I guess every cloud has a silver lining right.

As Malar says, will stop my blabbering and get on with the recipe because no one really reads the introduction although I know one 7-year-old who reads mine and points out her aunt's grammar and spelling mistakes.

I got this recipe from a children's cookbook by BBC.  It was originally a shepherd' pie but since I had beef sauce I am calling it cottage pie.

For 1 serving
1 large baked potato
1/2 cup of my meat sauce
GRated cheddar cheese ( depends on how much you want)

1. Scoop the potato, leaving a little of the flesh. Mash the flesh with a little butter and milk to make a nice creamy mash. season with salt and pepper.



2. Heat some oil in a wok or fryer and fry your potato skins till golden. drain well on kitchen paper or towels.

3. Heat up your meat sauce and reduce till thick, cool. Once cool spoon the meat into the potato shells.



4. Top with mashed potato and cheese. Place under the grill in the oven to melt the cheese.



Note: I know mine looks a little burnt I actually forgot that it was there hehehe got it a little burnt :D. Serve with some nice veges and tomato ketchup
