Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- Pierce potatoes with a fork and microwave for 10 minutes. Let cool until safe to handle. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving 1/2 inch around the shell. Discard flesh or save for another use.
- Place potato halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Rub each half with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Flip potatoes over. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.
- Bake in the preheated oven until shells are crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place meatballs on microwave-safe plates. Cover with paper towels. Microwave until hot, 70 to 75 seconds per batch. Let rest until cool enough to not melt the cheese.
- Wrap 1/4 of the cheese strings around 3 meatballs to create a mummy effect. Repeat with remaining cheese and meatballs.
- Remove potato skin coffins from the oven and place a mummy in each coffin. Apply candy eyeballs.

- Mix together the passata, hot water, garlic and sugar in a bowl and then pour the mixture over the potatoes and onion. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cut the sausages into bite size pieces and then peel the skin from each piece to create a meatball - if you're using veggie sausages just break them up into chunks. Scatter the meatballs and the chilli flakes (if you're using them) over the potatoes and onion and continue to cook in the oven for another 15 minutes.
- Top the potato bake with the parmesan and basil leaves and then roast for a final 5 minutes. Serve immediately with warm crusty bread and/or a green leaf salad.
