Steps:
- Put the diced potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water.
- Bring to a simmer, then cover and simmer over medium heat until tender, about 15 minutes.
- When the potatoes are done, drain them and transfer to a mixing bowl.
- Add the margarine and 1/2 cup milk and stir.
- Mash the potatoes well with a potato masher, then add a little salt if desired.
- In the meantime, make the "lava."
- Heat the 1 cup milk in a small saucepan.
- Dissolve the flour in just enough water to make it smooth and flowing.
- When the milk is hot, stir the dissolved flour slowly into the saucepan.
- Sprinkle in the cheese and stir until it melts.
- Simmer the mixture gently until smooth and thick.
- Stir the ketchup into the sauce, but leave some red streaks showing, so that it looks "fiery."
- Divide the mashed potatoes among 4 serving plates.
- Have everyone shape them into mountains, then press the tops down lightly to flatten, and finally make a small indentation at the very top with their thumb.
- Then, have the children arrange some of the broccoli florets around the base of the volcano.
- Let each child pour some of the "lava" into the indentation at the top of each "volcano" with a small ladle.
- It should flow down the sides.
- It's fine if it drips over the "greenery" too.
- Eat at once, before the lava solidifies into magma!

POTATO VOLCANO
Kids of all ages get a kick out of this recipe. I make it by mounding mashed potatoes into the shape of a mountain, putting a crater in the middle, and filling it with cheese sauce and drizzling some down the sides like lave. Then I broil it until it's bubbling and brown.-Beatta Robben, Grinnell, Kansas

MASHED POTATO VOLCANOES
Play with your food! This recipe is more of a concept than a recipe that needs to be exactly followed - you can make your mashed potatoes and sauce any way you want them. It's best to give the child their own portion of lava to pour, makes it more fun! Too bad the lava can't actually shoot out of the volcano, we're working on that. Variations of this can be found all over the web, so I have no idea where the idea originated. This is perfectly vegan friendly, as it can be made with rice or soy milk and margarine, in fact it was written that way when I found it at Veg Family. Enjoy!
