I again post the same theme bento for today. This time I use home-made mashed potato. In order to resemble Rilakkuma character then I put it into bear shaped cup & decorate the face expression using chocolate pen & carrot on it. The other companion things are: lettuce, cocktail wieners, french bread topping with Rilakkuma-shaped cheese, fresh prune and carrot. There is also mushroom gravy inside the small sauce cup.
Here I also post the mashed potato's recipe:
Ingredients
• 9 medium potatoes (aprrox: 3 pounds)
• 4 tsp butter
• 1/4 tsp salt or to taste
• 1/3 cup fat-free milk
Directions
1. Wash, peel, and quarter potatoes. Cook, covered, in a large saucepan in a small amount of boiling water for 20 to 25 minutes or until tender.
2. Drain potatoes and mash with a potato masher or with an electric mixer on low speed. Add butter and salt. Heat the 1/3 cup fat-free milk. Gradually beat enough of the hot milk into the potatoes to make them light and fluffy.
I used Mc Cormic Mushroom Sauce for the gravy.
