How to Make Mashed Potato Easter Eggs
Ingredients:
6 medium-sized potatoes
Butter or margarine
Milk or cream
Salt and pepper to taste
Food coloring
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, bacon bits, chopped green onions, etc.
Start by boiling the potatoes in a pot of salted water until they are fork-tender. Drain the water and mash the potatoes with butter, milk or cream, and salt and pepper to taste. For a creamier consistency, you can also use a hand mixer to blend the ingredients together.
Pro Tip: To make the mashed potatoes extra smooth, try peeling the potatoes before boiling them and using a potato ricer to mash them.
Next, divide the mashed potatoes into separate bowls depending on how many different colors you want to make. Add a few drops of food coloring to each bowl and mix well until you achieve your desired color. For a more natural option, you can also use vegetable powders such as beetroot powder for red, spinach powder for green, and turmeric powder for yellow.
Pro Tip: To make pastel colors, use less food coloring or vegetable powder.
Now comes the fun part – shaping the mashed potato Easter eggs! You can use an egg-shaped cookie cutter or mold to shape the mashed potatoes, or you can simply use your hands to form them into egg shapes. Place the shaped mashed potatoes onto a plate or baking sheet covered with wax paper and let them chill in the fridge for at least an hour to set.
Once the mashed potato Easter eggs have set, you can decorate them with your choice of toppings such as shredded cheese, bacon bits, chopped green onions, or anything else you desire. You can also create fun designs using different colors of mashed potatoes.
These mashed potato Easter eggs are not only a delicious and colorful addition to your Easter meal, but they also make for a great leftover dish. Simply reheat them in the oven or microwave and serve them as a tasty side dish. So, this Easter, ditch the traditional mashed potatoes and impress your guests with these fun and flavorful mashed potato Easter eggs!
