Crested (mashed potato chicken) with chickens

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   For the basis of our "crested chicken" we take two buns - one bigger, the other smaller for the skeleton of the chicken. We connect them with a wooden skewer.

2. Step 2:

   

   We prepare the usual mashed potatoes - we cook potatoes in salted water of readiness, drain the water, mash them with a pusher and beat the eggs in the puree. The puree should be cool so that our chicken can be molded from it. While the mashed potatoes are hot (or warm), we sculpt from the mashed potatoes, like sculptors - the torso, the head of a chicken.

3. Step 3:

   

   When the image of the chicken is formed, we make small indentations on the mashed potatoes with a regular spoon - the texture. We make eyes from berries, a scallop - from carrots.

5. Step 4:

   

   We take radish (white or green), wash it, clean it and cut it out with a sharp knife with a curved tip of chamomile - to decorate the dish. Such daisies need to be made 2-3 pieces of radish.

6. Step 5:

   

   For daisies, cut out the yellow centers from lemon peel or carrots. We add leaves - arugula fits especially well.

7. Step 6:

   

   In addition to the dish, we make chickens - we cook quail eggs, cool, peel, put some of them entirely next to the chicken, and cut a couple in half so that the yolk is visible, we make chicken eyes from black pepper peas. In addition to the nest, we make them from boiled spaghetti. That's what the original dish turned out to be. Especially suitable for Easter!
