Steps:
- Take 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream and place on a large piece of plastic wrap. Wrap up and mold with hands into a potato shape. Put in freezer to set (about 20 minutes).
- Put cocoa powder into a bowl and roll unwrapped ice cream potato in the powder until completely covered. Slice the top of your ice cream potato and pull back edges a bit to make room for your whipped topping (Cool Whip) and Starburst candy butter. Shake off excess cocoa powder and place on a plate. Top with a dollop of Cool Whip for the "sour cream".
- Place your unwrapped yellow Starburst candy in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften - then press the edges out to make a larger "pat of butter". Top your potato and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose baking potatoes that are firm and unblemished. Russet potatoes are a good option.
- Scrub the potatoes clean and prick them with a fork.
- Bake the potatoes in a preheated oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 60-75 minutes, or until they are tender.
- Once the potatoes are baked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Cut the potatoes open and remove the pulp, leaving behind the skin.
- Mash the potato pulp with milk, butter, and your favorite seasonings.
- Spoon the mashed potatoes back into the potato skins and sprinkle with cheese.
- Return the potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Conclusion:
These fake baked potatoes are a delicious and fun way to celebrate April Fool's Day. They are also a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. With a little creativity, you can create your own unique fake baked potato recipes. So have fun and enjoy!
