Potato Salad
6 Large potatoes
2 shallots
Parsley
Mayonaise

Peel and dice potatoes (about 1" squares) and cook gently (i use my steamer insert in a saucepan)
Do not overcook as they need to be firm still. Chop Shallots and parsley.
Drain or remove steamer and allow potato to cool then put with parsley and shallots and add desired amount of mayonaise.
(Our children like the Praise Potato Salad Mayo with chives. But you can use your favourite one. It is Cheaper than buying ready made salad from the supermarkets.

Partybelle
I made this one recently to take out and it was very well received,
In fact it was rated my the number of mmmm's from the males rather than words.
Base
1 1/2 packets milk coffee biscuits (crushed)
1 can condensed milk
Combine and spread onto a LARGE greased pizza tray (I used baking paper and then slid it onto a large glass plate when set) and refrigerate.
Filling:
1 tin chilled carnation milk
1 pkt lemon jelly
1(440g) tin crushed pineapple
Drain Pineapple and keep juice.
Whip chilled milk than add Jelly(make up with 1/2 cup hot water and 1/2 cup pineapple juice.
Whip until very thick then add drained pineapple.
Pile into base and put in fridge to set.
Decorate with whipped cream and strawberries, or passionfruit or cherries or chopped nuts.

Cream Horns
These are always gobbled up fast when made. I had not had these for quite a while and then decided to make some for a trial. They are not hard just a little fiddly.
You will need:
6 cream horn cases
1 sheet Puff pastry
1 egg (for glazing)
and desired fillings

Cut pastry sheet into six strips (approx 30mm wide)
Grease horn case (i use a tissue with marg on)
Wind pastry onto case starting at pointed end (do not stretch pastry) it is easier to turn the shell to wind it than handle the pastry too much. Do not go above the open end of the case. Brush with beaten egg (for sweet filling you can sprinkle castor sugar on top of after glazing.)
Place on baking paper and bake at 200 C until golden. Leave on tray until cool enough to remove cases. Then cool on wire rack.
Filling:
You can use some jam and cream, custard and cream or lemon spread and cream.
I will experiment with some savory fillings and post them at a later date.
Have fun.
