Mashed IdahoŽ Potato Ghost


Yield: 8- 10 servings

Ingredients


  • 2 pounds IdahoŽ potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • 4 ounces lightly salted butter
  • 2 teaspoons Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
  • Black olive slices
Other Materials for Creating the Ghosts:
  • Wax paper
  • Pen
  • Scissors
 

Directions


  1. Cook potatoes in large pot of boiling water until tender.
  2. Drain, transfer to a mixing bowl and mash with the butter. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Using the pen, draw different shaped ghosts on the wax paper.  Use your imagination - make them tall, short, fat and skinny!
  4. Cut out each ghost and place the cut out on a plate.  Using the wax paper as your guide, spoon the mashed potatoes onto the cut-out ghost.  Use the black olive slices for eyes or decorate as you wish. 
Time-saving Tip:  Use instant mashed IdahoŽ potato flakes instead of fresh potatoes.  Both taste great!
