Frighteningly fun, making Mummified Mashed Idaho® Potatoes is a great activity for the kids at a Halloween party. It's a guarantee they'll gobble up these mashed potatoes!
Ingredients:
½ box (4 cups) instant mashed Idaho® potatoes
corn husk* (fresh or packaged)
assorted vegetables
Recommended vegetables:
peas and carrots for eyes
herbs for eyelashes
black olive slices for eyebrows
corn kernels for ears
sliced radishes and olive halves for shoes
additional suggestions:
red, yellow, green bell pepper slices
sugar snap peas
cucumbers
green beans

Instructions:
After preparing instant mashed potatoes according to box directions, let potatoes cool to touch.
Place opened cornhusk on plate and put on large dollop (approximately ¾ cup) of potatoes in center of husk. Gently mold potatoes into the oblong shape of a mummy.
Select vegetables to create mummy features and choose approximate location where to place. Carefully press the vegetables into potatoes.
