To create the clover shape
take one piece of dough and divide into 3 sections Set as small piece of the dough aside for the stem

Using a wide spatula
carefully transfer the shamrocks to the baking sheet
Cover and place in a warm oven to rise for about 30 minutes Tip Although we have a proofing feature in our oven which I used for this recipe you can also turn on the oven to 200 degrees then immediately turn it off leaving the oven light on This will help the dough to rise a little
Sprinkle with green dyed sugar
green cake sprinkles
etc Some of the shamrocks we decorated with neon gel after removing from the oven
Bake approximately 20 minutes or until the shamrocks are lightly browned on top and bottom Baking time depends on the size of the pieces you make

carefully distribute filling mixture into pastry-lined muffin cups
Fill each pastry cup 3/4s of the way full
The amount needed does vary because there is no standard to the size of mini-muffin cups mine are just about the smallest Ive seen and I use about a 3/4 tsp of filling per tassie
Bake for 20-25 minutes
Immediately
and very carefully using the tip of a pointed knife
gently knudge out each tassie out of its cup and transfer to a rack to cool
If they cool in the pan too long
they are more difficult to remove
Your first couple may break those are the ones I eat on the spot- the rewards of making them
but you will soon learn just the right move to remove them perfectly
Variation This recipe also works well with orange sweet potato kumera
If using sweet potato try substituting the nutmeg with a generous sprinkling of caraway seeds over each layer
Yum
Grease a 6 cup capacity ovenproof dish generously with the butter or margarine then smear the garlic around the bottom and sides of the dish
I use a round glass pyrex dish Peel potatoes and slice thinly into rounds
I use the slicing blade of my food processor
Line the bottom of the dish with a single layer of overlapping potato slices
Sprinkle generously with salt pepper and nutmeg
Repeat this layering and sprinkling process until you have used all of the potato slices
In a large jug combine cream and milk and stir well
Pour this mixture over the potato slices gently easing the potato away from the sides of the dish to allow the liquid to penetrate evenly
Place the dish onto a microwave safe plate and cook uncovered in a microwave on MEDIUM HIGH for 15- 20 minutes
Check occasionally
If the liquid in the potatoes boils over simply pour it from the plate back into the dish and continue cooking
Microwave just until you can push the blade of a sharp knife through the potato layers without feeling any crunchy resistance
Having reached this stage you can go on to cook the dish in the oven or cover with plastic wrap and keep in the refrigerator for several hours or more before cooking
Pre-set your oven to 180C 350F
Sprinkle the top of the potatoes with the grated cheese and place the dish on an upper shelf in the oven for 20 minutes or until the top turns golden brown
This may take slightly longer if taking the dish straight from the refrigerator To serve cut into wedges and remove each wedge carefully with a spatula
