    • A smooth mixture of sweet and boiling potatoes transforms into a cluster of adorable orange ghosts with the help of a pastry or resealable bag. And helpers are welcome -- little fingers are perfect for adding the tiny olive "ghost eyes."

    Ingredients

    Serves:

    Directions

    Peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces, then simmer in a pot of salted water until tender, 12 to 15 minutes. Meanwhile, heat butter and milk in a small saucepan until butter is melted, then let stand off heat 1 minute. Whisk egg in a large bowl, then slowly whisk in milk mixture.

    Drain potatoes well, then force through ricer into large bowl with milk mixture and stir in salt and pepper to taste.

    Preheat oven to 400 F. with rack in middle and butter a nonstick shallow baking pan.

    If using plastic bag, cut away one corner to form a 3/4-inch opening. Transfer potatoes to pastry or plastic bag and pipe potatoes close together into 3-inch-high pointed mounds to form ghosts.

    Garnish each mound with 2 olive pieces to form eyes.

    Bake until potatoes are heated through, about 8 minutes. Transfer carefully with nonstick spatula to retain shapes.

    Make ahead: Potatoes can be piped into pan 1 day ahead and chilled, loosely covered with plastic wrap. Let stand at room temperature 30 minutes before proceeding.
