Deviled Potato Salad: 5 all-purpose potatoes, peeled and diced
Coarse salt
1/4 onion
3 tablespoons prepared yellow mustard
1/2 cup mayonnaise, eyeball the amount
1 teaspoon sweet paprika
1 teaspoon hot cayenne pepper sauce (recommended: Tabasco or Frank's Red Hot)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 scallions, thinly sliced, for garnish
Boil potatoes in water seasoned with coarse salt until they are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain cooked potatoes and return to the warm pot to dry them out. Let the potatoes stand 2 minutes, then spread potatoes out on to a cookie sheet to quick-cool them.
In the bottom of a medium mixing bowl, grate 1/4 onion using a hand grater. Add mustard and mayonnaise, paprika and cayenne pepper sauce to the grated onion and stir to combine. Add potatoes to the bowl and stir to evenly distribute dressing. Season potato salad with salt and pepper and taste to adjust your seasonings. Top servings of salad with chopped scallions.

Youcould make up a basic savoury mince recipe and stuff some vegetables with it and top with grated cheese and breadcrumbs.The herbs or spice could depend on the vegetable, like for pumpkin I put in some nutmeg, for eggplant oregano, for capsicums add some cooked rice and pinenuts.

You don't need a loaf tin, as long as the mixture isn't sloppy you can just form it into a loaf shape or wrap in tinfoil.

I think you could pretty much make it up depending on what you have on hand.I would cook up some onions and garlic in oil or butter and add these to the mince along with a beaten egg, some tomato paste and herbs or choice, I think thyme would be nice, so would oregano.You could also "bulk it out" with some breadcrumbs.You could also mix in apacket of mushroom soup for a bit more taste.

If you have no loaf tin for a meatloaf grease a piece of tinfoil thin shape loaf mixture into a roll down the centre of it. Wrap tightly to compact the loaf then open the join again and fold back a little.Best to sit the roll in a baking dish so it doesn't leak into the oven.

I know this sounds odd, but you should try it!I received it from a TM poster years and years ago - I cannot account for its authenticity, but I know we (big whanau) really enjoy it.

I was going to do meatballs today, but reading a recipe book, decided on a mince curry potato pie and went with that. Figured out we had no curry (I thought I'd bought some, but no), and didn't have some other key ingredients, so changed it to suit what we did have. What a waste of time. turned out it was a cottage pie with a pastry base. But it was good, except I sort of expected the potato to not need salt & pepper. Next time, I'll forget the pastry, add more veges into the mince, throw some pumpkin or carrot in with the spuds and put some cheese on top (I did think about the last thing, but forgot). I guess at least it wasn't spaghetti or meatballs :)

About 100 years ago when I was at intermediate they taught us to make a meat loaf in a roasting dish and called it a mock roast.It sate as a rectangle in the middle.Sorry I don't have the recipe.

Bobotie was around in New Zealand contributed cookbooks about 30-40 years ago when locals called it Bobbidee. how things get changed when they travel!
However 25 years ago I asked a South African friend for an authentic recipe and he gave me three, photocopied from SA cookbooks (and all spelled Bobotie and pronounced BoBOtee). They were all somewhat different in minor ways, but basically it is small-chopped or minced meat in a curried meat custard with apricot. Some recipes add almonds. It can be made from left over roast, which is useful.
Anyway now you know the spelling, Google away and pick your preferred recipe!

I have made meatloaf in muffin tins. Nice with a slice of tomato or pineapple in the bottom, and then flip them over to serve

Try Adding Veges in with the mince and cooking it up that way you will also need 1oxo cube a tip or just over for both mustard and curry powder and 2 tablespoons of bisto or gravy browning

Meatloaf recipes -
Tonight we had the best meatloaf. Dice one onion and mix in with sausage meat and mince. Add 1 tablespoon each of worchestireshire and soy sauces, 1 teaspoon smoked garlic salt (plain would be fine), 2 tablespoons sauce (hikory nice but tomato OK) 1 crumbled oxo cube, 1 tbsp golden syrup. No egg nor breadcrumbs. Put into loaf tin and cook for about an hour at 190/200 degrees. Leaves side of tine and feels firm to the touch when cooked. Juices around the loaf in pan will be clear.

Quotegardie (395 )6:27 pm, Wed 23 Mar #2 I use good quality sausages rather than sausage meat,topside mince,add grated carrot and onion,worcestershire sauce,a good dollop of fruit or vege chutney and a tsp of chilli flakes.

We had kirinesha's pork mince for dinner and OMG was it nice and l am not a big fan of blue cheese but it was really nice l cooked it in a loaf tin then l poured off the juices and we put that over the loaf when serving it and it was a really nice sauce as well as the mushroom sauce l think l would possibly reduce the juice off the meat a bit to make it thicker but definitely a keeper lt is the best pork mince recipe l have made so far
