  • 4 Remove plastic wrap from each potato mound; choose from suggested ingredients above to make faces. Serve immediately.

EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

If you don’t have 6-oz custard cups, try shaping the mashed potato heads using a small bowl, or wet your hands and form them by hand.

Set out bowls of the ingredients for faces, and let your kids use whatever they like to create their own monsters.
