How to Make Mashed Potato Easter Eggs
Ingredients:
6 large Russet potatoes
1/2 cup milk
4 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Food coloring
Decorations (optional)
Instructions:
1. Start by peeling and cubing the potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the potatoes are fork-tender.
2. Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Mash with a potato masher or electric mixer until smooth.
3. Add in the milk, butter, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
4. Separate the mashed potatoes into several bowls, depending on how many colors you want to use. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix until the desired color is achieved.
5. Take a plastic Easter egg and coat the inside with non-stick cooking spray. Spoon in a layer of mashed potatoes, making sure to smooth it out against the sides of the egg.
6. Repeat the process with different colors, layering the mashed potatoes until the egg is full. Use a spoon to press the potatoes down and create a flat surface on the bottom.
7. Once the egg is full, gently open the plastic egg and remove the mashed potato egg. Place it on a plate and decorate with sprinkles, herbs, or other decorations if desired.
8. Repeat the process with the remaining mashed potatoes to create more eggs.
Notes and Tips:
- Make sure to let the mashed potato eggs cool in the fridge for at least an hour before serving to help them keep their shape.
- You can use any food coloring you like to create different colors, or mix different colors together for a marbled effect.
- Let your creativity shine by decorating the mashed potato eggs with various toppings like bacon bits, chives, or cheese.
Now that you know how to make mashed potato Easter eggs, it's time to get creative and have fun with this unique and delicious recipe. Whether you serve them as a side dish or a fun appetizer, these colorful eggs are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. Happy Easter!
