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.

Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is Happy Tuesday! One thing you guys know about me is that I love Target. It’s my happy place. I get so excited each season to see all the new things that come out. 
🌿
One thing I always love is there faux vase/pot flowers and plants. They are always so pretty and I want to buy them all. But there a couple of things that stops me. The biggest one is that I have no storage for them. Two, they seemed to have gone up in price. They seemed a little pricy to me. 
🌿
For my arrangement, I used one of my canisters for the bathroom. I used floral foam to stick the stems in and I used the paper towel as a filler because I only had very little bit of moss. If I had more moss and I would probably not use the paper towel. This arrangement cost me $5.99. 
🌿
Tip: If you look at Targets faux foliage stems only, they have a lot that are same of what use in there vases. The one I used was Hearth and Hand and was only $5.99 for a stem. The exact ones they used in there pots.
🌿
Hope you enjoy this as much as I have making it. 
Enjoy your day!

My husband decided to take vacation days this week, and my kitchen does not look so pretty. He has his 💩 everywhere. So annoying. 
💖
Here’s a little bit of the styling that I did. I will work on the coffee bar this weekend, though I’m running a blank on how to style it. I need some inspiration.

What do you do to get inspiration?

I’m sharing heart shaped cinnamon rolls that I made this weekend. I got the idea to make them from my friend Heidi @eleanorrosehome. She made the most delicious looking cinnamon rolls, that I couldn’t resist to make. So perfect for Valentines Day and sooooo easy! 
❤️
I took a can of Trader Joe’s cinnamon rolls and unraveled them, if that makes sense, and rolled them up like a palmier cookie. So fun! You could add food coloring to the frosting to make it pink and add sprinkles. Super cute! You can follow step by step recipe on Heidi’s Instagram page! 
❤️
Thank you Heidi for sharing the recipe. This was so fun!
❤️
Would you rather get chocolate or flowers for Valentines Day?

I’m sharing with you my corner of my living room. I love how open this space looks. I added greenery to give it a fresh look. I also stuck with mostly natural colors with an exception of some blues to bring my whole living room together. 
🌿
Tomorrow I am going to start to share Valentines Day. My dining room is filling up with hearts. It’s so fun. I can’t wait to start sharing. Hope you have a beautiful day!
