I'll often see a recipe or a photograph in a magazine and think:  "I must try that".   But more often than not, I promptly forget about it or run out of time or just never quite get around to it.   Such was the case with Mashed Boo-tatoes, which were featured in one of Martha Stewart's Halloween issues a few years back.

They looked adorable.  And easy.  I just never seemed to think of them when I had a pot of mashed potatoes in front of me.
Until earlier this week . . . 
I know.  It's difficult to spot the difference between Martha's and mine.  The similarity is uncanny.
Although, my potato ghosts seem to bear a striking resemblance to the Michelin Man.  Which reminds me, I may need new winter tires this year . . .
