Potato Tarts

This is one of the my favourite bakes (and also my family's) which I learnt many years ago when I started my baking lesssons - potato tarts.

It is also something which I have not baked for a while and missed by many at home. Reason being that I found so many delicious goodies in so many great blogs that I have shelved my own collections. At the request of my neices and nephew I am sharing these tarts with those who are keen to try.

A not so common snacks on the market. If these tarts have 'won' your attention, you may want to try it out and serve for afternoon tea.
