Preparation:
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! |
