Simple suppers - potato salad 13p portion

Well, we had it for lunch actally, but I like the alliteration ;)




1/2 a 500g bag new potatoes (these happen to be charlotte 39p pack Lidl offer) - 20p
3-4 (or more!) tablespoons Mayo (500g jar £1) - 20p
Chives - Free! Homegrown organic in my garden, dont'cha know! ;P

Total cost 40p 3 portions. 13p each!

Is it high in carbs? yep. Do you know what else its high in? Vitamin B-6, Potassium, Vitamin C, and it also has Iron and Magnesium. Not including the chives and mayo, that is all the humble potato.
100g contains a whole 77 calories, we used extra light mayo so 87 calories portion. Kids have had 2 whopping great big bowls of porrige for breakfast and have been snacking like crazy (that bag of pears I bought aint gonna last the week!) so they get plenty of calories elsewhere and werent that hungry for lunch. And I already got plenty of calories to get rid of ;P

Breakfast was sultana porridge for kids, for dinner tonight im making home-made mcmuffins 38p each. I may even go all extravagant and add a slice of smoked ham each, fried till crispy. The other half a pack of sausages is making toad in the hole for dinner tomorrow.
