Scary Sides: Slash 'Em, Gash 'Em Spuds
Source of Recipe
Creepy Cuisine, Lucy Munroe
List of Ingredients
6 medium russet potatoes
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter or margarine -- softened
1 teaspoon pepper
12 small mushrooms
2 red bell peppers -cored, seeded and sliced
assorted vegetables --broccoli, zucchini, carrots, etc.
ketchup
additional melted butter Recipe
Peel off potato skins with a vegetable peeler. Cut potatoes into quarters and put them
in a large pot 3/4 full of cold water. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the water, cover the pot
and boil for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Using a slotted spoon,
carefully remove potatoes from the hot water and place in a large mixing bowl. Add the
milk, butter, pepper and the remaining teaspoon of salt. Beat with an electric mixer for 3
to 4 minutes, or until light and fluffy.
Spoon a mound of potatoes onto individual plates. Allow to cool slightly, then using clean hands, sculpt a human head on each plate. Using vegetables of your choice, add eyes, a nose and a mouth to each head. Try mushrooms for eyes, red pepper slices for lips, broccoli for hair or mustaches, etc. Using a blunt knife, slash a gash down the side of each heat. Pour ketchup (blood) into each gash and dribble on melted-butter pus for a deliciously disgusting side dish! Serves 6.
