Directions

To assemble Spooky spuds: After baking, let potatoes cool to touch. Select vegetables to create the potato character and decide where features will be attached. Make small holes, perhaps using the tip of a turkey baster, deep enough to hold vegetables securely. Gently press the vegetables into the holes. A dab of honey can be used to attach small vegetables.

Note: small chili peppers are among vegetables used for the example shown in the photograph. Chili peppers vary in degree of heat, and some may be too hot for children.
