As I posted earlier that I will be posting some Kids Lunch Box recipes and ideas. I am starting with my son's favourite recipe - the potato logs or potato sticks. This recipe was given to me by Niv of Panfusine

3. In the mean while, dip the bread slices (crust and all) in water and squeeze out the water.

4. Add to the potatoes. Add all the spices and herbs that you are using. Mix well.
