Instructions
Preheat your oven to 450F.
Scrub the potatoes and prick them with a fork. Place the potatoes on the rack of your oven and bake for 45 minutes, until the potato is tender and a fork can be inserted into the potato easily. Remove the potatoes from the oven and let cool until they are able to be handled.
Cut a 1 inch wedge out of the potato and carefully scoop out the white flesh, leaving enough of a wall so that the skin holds its shape.
Mash the potato insides with sour cream, milk, garlic, onion, salt and white pepper.
Carefully spoon the mashed potatoes back into the baked potato shells.
Arrange black olives in the mashed potatoes of three of the potatoes. Use slices of colored peppers for pupils.
For the other three potatoes, cut triangles out of the green pepper and arrange them like teeth in a mouth. Decorate with ketchup ‘blood’ and chive ‘hair’ as desired.
