Just a note to say a friend recommended haggis sandwiches for leftovers. We are trying them tomorrow.

I suppose it's just like pate, really

Night all x

What a good idea. We're having our haggis tomorrow - however, I suspect that there will not be any leftovers!

Potato peelings can be scrubbed and any unwanted bits removed...then paint sparingly with olive oil or any oil you prefer, flavoured or otherwise.

Bake in a hot oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, or until they go very crispy.

healthy crisp snacks, great with dips and you can sprinkle with a little parmesan or other hard cheese for the last few minutes of cooking.:)

Thank you very much. These are in my oven now

oooh but I'm pleased withe myself today . Leftovers used up have been:-

1. My lunch today was left over mashed potato and cabbage from dinner last night - fried up and served on two slices of stale bread that I buttered lightly and dry fried in the pan next to the potato and cabbage. it was YUM
2. soaked too many pasta sheets for the lasagne I was making for tonight's dinner (I don't like them just put in the lasagne dry)....so I dried them, cut them into bite sized triangles and deep fried them....DD and DS say they tasted just like square crisps (whatever they may be )
3. Muffins made for breakfast tomorrow by omitting sugar and adding left over sweetcorn, some dried up bits of cheese, chopped red onion and half a rasher of bacon

I make it all the time. Just whizz the nuts in a food processor adding oil driop by drop until it blends into a paste. May take a few minutes. In total you will add 1-2 tbsps oil. This helps make it spreadable.

I use the Value peanuts 30p a packet and 2 packs makes a large jar.
