Mashed Potato Monsters for #SundaySupper

Halloween season is approaching, and I can hardly wait!!! From haunted houses to scary movies to creepy costume parties, we are ALL about them in this household. And of course, there is one component of Halloween fun we can’t forget: frightful food. Today, I am sharing a deliciously creepy recipe (and a video too!) for some mashed potato monsters!

Do you host Halloween parties at your home (or attend them)? Halloween is one of my favorite holidays to decorate for, and although we haven’t hosted a party in a few years, it’s on the list for 2014! I love that you can extend your spooky decor all the way through to your food, and the Sunday Supper crew is here today to give you some spooky inspiration using Idaho® potatoes!

So: on to the recipe! These little mashed potato monsters are not only creepy, but they are delicious to snack on as well! You’ve got creamy Idaho® potatoes (enhanced with pesto and goat cheese) coated in french fried onions, which are then transformed into monsters of all sizes. They’re quick and easy to put together, and fun for the whole family! You can prepare them in advance and store in the refrigerator, so there is less stress when it comes to party time!

Personally, I served my mashed potato monsters cold, but you could easily warm them up as well. I would suggest rolling the mashed potatoes in the french fried onions, then warming them in the oven (only warm them through: you don’t want to dry out the potatoes with overcooking). You could then insert the eyes and the tongue into each monster after they come out of the oven. Whatever works best for your party!

So – are you already pondering options for spooky Halloween food? What will you be serving up?
