1
Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and microwave on high for the time suggested by your microwave wattage.

My micro is 750W and my potatoes take 9 minutes.

You can bake in the oven by lightly rubbing the pricked potatoes all over in oil and wrapping them in foil then baking for an hour at gas 4 / 180C / 350F but the microwave is a quicker option if you're only doing one or two

4
Cook off the pasta as directed on the packet or use leftover pieces like I did
-
5
Cook a handful of peas in boiling water for a few minutes until done.
-
6
I had sweetcorn to use too so I threw some in
-
7
Now take a cocktail stick and cut it in half or quarters so it's shorter.
-
8
Push one end into the end of the potato and push the 1/2 tomato onto the other end.

9
Rudolph now has a nose!
-
10
Use a knife to notch out some little holes for the eyes and bigger ones for the antlers.
-
11
Squirt a little ketchup inside to help keep the antlers in place.
-
12
The antlers need a good hole, I put the point of a sharp knife in and just 'cored' out enough space
-
13
You can split Rudolphs back and add any topping of choice such as grated cheese, tuna, coleslaw, anything that you like or leave them as they are
-
14
Serve Rudolph on top of the rest of the peas you cooked
