Oatmeal Potatoes
Here is a good but simple way
to liven up the serving of potatoes, using one of Scotland's traditional
ingredients! Oatmeal!
While pin-head oatmeal (the kernel has been cut
in half and the floury meal taken out), any rough oatmeal (such as that
used for real porridge) will do.
Ingredients:
Potatoes (new ones are best)
2 tablespoons pinhead oatmeal
1 tablespoon butter<
Finely chopped parsley or chives
Method:
Boil your normal quantity of potatoes in the usual way.
While they are cooking, toast the oatmeal slowly on a tray in the oven using a low/medium heat.
Drain the potatoes and add the tablespoon of butter.
Stir to allow the butter to coat the potatoes.
Then add the toasted oatmeal and stir again.
Serve:
Sprinkle the potatoes with finely
chopped parsley or chives.
