Spooky Halloween Skull Potatoes: A Family Favorite


  • Author: Ashley
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large russet potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: shredded cheese (for extra flavor)
  • Optional: fresh herbs for garnish (like parsley or chives)

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Wash and peel the potatoes. Cut them into halves or quarters, depending on the size.
  • Scoop out the center of each piece, forming a skull shape. If you have a skull mold, this is the perfect time to use it!
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss the potato skulls in this mixture until they’re evenly coated.
  • Arrange the skull potatoes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Make sure they’re not touching each other.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
  • Optional: In the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle shredded cheese on top of the skulls for a cheesy twist.
  • Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired.
