250 g potato (oval)<br />
90 g potato (round)<br />
180 g butternut squash, peeled<br />
1 to 2 tbsp parmesan cheese, grated<br />
2 baby carrots<br />
frozen peas<br />
slice of red pepper<br />
a little cream cheese<ol>
<li>Prick the potatoes with a fork. Cook the potatoes in the microwave for 10 to 12 minutes on full power or in the oven for 45 minutes to 1 hour 200C/400 F (Gas 6) until cooked through in the middle</li>
<li>Cut a thin slice off the bases of the potatoes. Scoop out some of the cooked potato, making sure you leave a 1.5cm border.</li>
<li>Slice the butternut squash into small cubes. Cook in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes until soft. Mix half of the squash with the scooped out potato flesh and mash together. Season to taste and add the parmesan cheese.</li>
<li>Stuff both of the potatoes with the squash mixture.</li>
<li>Put the large potato onto a plate and put the small potato on top to make the snowman’s head. Attach a small baby carrot for the nose and for the hat, attach peas for the eyes and for the buttons (you could use a dab of cream cheese as glue) and cut a smiley shaped mouth from a strip of red pepper.</li>
