Potato basket with red spinach dip

Red spinach is one of those vegetables which most of us rarely like. So thought of making something interesting which would be healthy and serve as a good starter. In my previous posts I had served this with fried veggies but this time thought of using the same dip differently. Children will be tempted to eat it too,thus making mothers happy.

Ingredients for basket

1. Boiled and mashed potato - 1 cup

2. Butter - 4tsp( bring it to room temperature and then use)

3. Salt to taste

4. Black pepper powder - 1/2 tsp

5. Carrot strip to make the handles of the basket

Method

Mix butter,salt,pepper powder in potato. Shape them into a basket and bake for 10 to 12 mins at 200deg. The idea is the the basket should get slightly firm and light golden in colour.

For the red spinach dip,please refer my earlier post in the month of feb.

Now stuff the basket with the dip,carefully arrange the carrot strip to give a handle look in the basket as shown in the image and serve.
