Hippotatomus Recipe
- 1 potato
- 1 chives or scallion
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 peppercorns (optional)
- Scrub your potato, prick it all over with a fork, and cook it in the microwave for about 6 minutes with 2 tablespoons of water or until it is tender inside.
- Once the potato is cool to the touch, cut a small slit at one end for the hippo's mouth. The size of the slit will depend on the size of your potato!
- Chop the green end of the scallion (or chives) into 1/2-inch pieces and push a few of them into the potato towards the front of the mouth; these will be the teeth.
- Add the pat of butter inside the slit (mouth) for the tongue!
- Cut two small triangular pieces of the potato skin at the top of the head and fold forward to make the hippo's ears.
- Add 2 peppercorns for the eyes.
- Enjoy your Foodimal . . . hello, Hippotatomus, how cute are you!
