Shrunken Potato Heads

Halloween has always been Bytes favorite holiday. And these were fun and so easy to make – just his style.  Shrunken Potato Heads are perfect for a Halloween themed gathering to eat, drink, and be scary!    A few minutes of prep and the oven does the rest.

Gather the number of potatoes you need and scrub well.  You’ll need a melon ball cutter and a sharp knife.

Use your imagination to create faces using the melon ball cutter and knife.  And any other tool you conjure up!

Place in oven preheated to 350 degrees.  Put the potatoes directly on the rack so the hot oven can do it’s work.  No oil or anything else on the potato skin.  Bake for 45-60 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes you chose and how crispy/wrinkly you want the potato.  A fork will easily pierce the potato when it is done.

Add a bit of butter to the eye sockets for a glossy glow.  (Now where have you EVER seen that line in a recipe before!)
