Mashed Potato Grave #SundaySupper

September 28, 2014 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 27 Comments

Hi Everyone,

Today #SundaySupper teamed up with Idaho® potatoes to share with you fun and scary Halloween recipes made with Idaho® potatoes. Well I will admit, this was a tough task for me. I spent weeks thinking of what I could make. My thought was to make mashed potato brains, but my co-workers said make mashed potato graves. When they were describing it to me, they were telling me to make picket fence with potatoes, have a haunted house, make scary hands and the list went on an on. I was intimidated by their suggestions, because of two things, I’m not talented by design, I’m not even good decorating sugar cookies and I do not have very many patience. But I gave their idea a shot, and you know what? I am proud of Mashed Potato Grave.
Mashed Potato Graves #SundaySupper
Actually this ohhhh, so scary grave was pretty easy to make. Plus, what’s even better? They are edible too and taste great. Nothing like creamy, smooth potatoes. When making the recipe, the potatoes turned out cold, but I popped my whole display in the microwave and 2 minutes later, they were perfectly warmed and tasted perfect.
Mashed Potato Grave #SundaySupper
To make the Mashed Potato Grave, I made my normal mashed potato recipe, but when I blended it together, I didn’t add as much milk. I wanted my potatoes thick so they would be easy to mold. I reserved about 1/2 cup of potatoes to make my scary ghosts. With the remaining mashed potatoes, I added brown food coloring and beat it until it was all well blended. I added my brown potatoes to a plate and mounded it like a grave. To make the tombstone, I cut a piece of raw potato and wrote Rip on it with a red food coloring frosting. For the ghosts, I placed the white mashed potatoes in a baggie, cut off the corner and piped a ghost shape onto a piece of parchment paper. For the eyes and mouth I used peppercorns. All in all I am very pleased with my dish and I think kids would get a kick out of it too.

Easy,scary Halloween mashed potatoes that look like a grave site with two tiny mashed potato ghosts.
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
  • 2 lbs. Russet Idaho® potatoes, peeled, diced
  • 1 tbsp. butter
  • ¼ cup non-fat milk
  • brown food coloring
  • 1 thin slice of raw potato (for tombstone)
  • Red Food Coloring Pen
  • 6 peppercorns
Instructions
  1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil. Add the potatoes. Cook until fork tender, about 20 minutes.
  2. Place the potatoes in a bowl, add butter and milk. Beat until combined. Reserve about ½ cup of potato (this is to make ghosts). Add brown food coloring until it is the color you desire. Note: You want the potatoes thick, not runny. You can also add salt and pepper too.
  3. Place the potatoes on a plate to make a long mound to resemble a grave. Take once slice of raw potato and with a red food coloring pen, write Rip on the sliced potato. Stick the sliced potato at the end of the mound to look like a grave.
  4. Take the reserved potatoes and place in a baggie. Pipe half the mixture onto a plate or parchment paper, to resemble a ghost. I shaped it up to look like a ghost. Add 2 peppercorns for the eyes and 1 peppercorn for the mouth. Do the same with remaining potatoes.
  5. This dish will get cold while making. I reheated it in the microwave for about 1½ minutes to warm up for serving.

I’m still working in my dining room and I wanted to share my new reversible sign that I got from @krumpetshomedecor. It’s a beautiful 24x9 sign that I thought it would be perfect in my dining room. 
🌸
I love sitting around the table with friends and family and tell stories, laugh, play games and have a good time. I thought the side of the sign that says “Enjoy Every Moment” was perfect.

One of the things I added was my new bedding that I got from @lushdecorhome. Let me tell you, it is so luxurious. This is the 3 piece Belgian Flax Linen Rich Cotton Blend Bedspread. It is so soft and gets softer with each wash. 
💕
I have a tall bed and the ruffles just reaches the floor. The bedding is filled with cotton that gives the bedspread such a comfy feel. The bedspread is perfect for the summer, as it is lightweight, but warm enough to keep you cozy in the winter. The set comes with two pillow shams and the bedspread. It also comes in 4 colors.

I love my new bedding, it’s so feminine and simply beautiful. I couldn’t be happier. Swipe the photo to see how happy Sully is on the bedding.

I updated my little corner by adding some pops of yellow. I just love adding yellow and I love adding lemons. Speaking of lemons, how cute is my little “Hello Sunshine” pillow is from @krumpetshomedecor.

Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime ta Hi Everyone! I shared the reel to my Summertime tablescape with @JCPenney + #AllAtJCP + #sponsored +#ShoppingIsBack but you know how I love still photos better. I think you can really see the details of the decor.

💛

I am loving how simple, fresh and light my tablescape feels. It’s the perfect look I was going for. When the idea came for creating a tablescape, I was unclear of what direction I was going for until I shopped at JCPenney. I walked around the decor department and was completely inspired. They had so many styles and colors that would inspire you too.

💛

I saved a highlight of my shopping trip to JCPenney. You must check it out. I’ll be honest, I was blown away by the styles, quality and prices of there store. I will be shopping there quite frequently and you know I will take you along my journey.

💛

What is the style of your home?

💛

PS. Everything on my table is from JCPenney and it is the Linden Street Collection.

My inspiration was my new pillows that I got from @downlitebedding. The name of the pillow says it all “Ahhhhhmazing™ down alternative pillow” and they are amazing.
🐾
The pillows are so soft, plush and are hypoallergenic. They are easily molded so you position your neck, head and arms. The pillows are also washable and OEKO-TEX® Certified Textiles Are Certified Free Of Harmful Chemicals. 
🐾
I’ll be honest, Downlite Bedding are the only pillows that I sleep with. They are fabulous and will last for years. I highly recommend them. They won’t disappoint you. Downlite Bedding was nice enough to give my followers a 20% off discount code to there shop: DYGEN20.

Hello! I have to tell you that I love summer. It’s my favorite season. I love the sun, hot weather, shirts and flip flops. I could just spend all day outside.
🌻
One of my favorite things to do in the summer besides gardening is going to the Farmers Market. There is something about the atmosphere with people walking around with bags in hand, the smell of kettle corn and everyone is so happy. 
🌻
Besides the atmosphere, you can’t beat the freshly grown produce. It’s mind blowing how different it tastes, then what you get in the store. You almost forget what a strawberry is suppose to taste like until have it at the Farmers Market. Plus you are supporting your community. It’s a good feeling all around. 
🌻
I highly recommend going to the Farmers Market and pick up so corn. Soooooo good!! Stock up on your fruits and veggies and freeze it for winter.

I’m sharing with you my last photo of my peonies. I’m so sad that they didn’t last. I got about 6 days from them. I guess that’s means I need to go to Trader Joe’s and get more before peony season is over.
🌸
Do you have any summer vacation scheduled this year?

Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll Happy Monday!! It’s back to work for me. I’ll be counting down to my next vacation, which will be the week of the 4th of July. I will tell you, it felt so nice not having any plans and doing work in the garden.
🌻
This weekend I finally made it to the Farmers Market and I picked up these amazing sunflowers. They are such a happy flower. 
🌻
When I got them, I couldn’t resist doing a flowers in the sink photo. I haven’t done one of these since Fall. Now I may have to go back to the Farmers Market next weekend because they had so many flowers and most were only $4.00 a bundle.

Do you you like to go to the Farmers Market?

Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I Happy Friday! My vacation is officially over and I pretty much spent the whole week working in my garden, so I apologize for all the flower photos. 
🌸
This is a view of my fenced in garden. The flowers on the left are zinnias, and next to them is beardtongue and in the background, butterfly bush.  In about a month or so, this background will pop with lots of orange from my Mexican sunflower and yellow from the black eyed susan. I just hope my black eyed susan’s make it. They are struggling. 
🌸
I have to say I have been enjoying working in the garden. It’s therapy to me. It just makes me feel good to sit back and see all your hard work start to bloom. I can’t wait to see what the garden looks like a month.
🌸
What do you like to do that you consider your therapy?
