POTATO GHOSTS
You and your guests will be utterly charmed when you see how easily mashed potatoes can be transformed into a gaggle of ghosts. Simply form them into pointy mounds and then personify-no, make that "ghostify"-them with seed "eyes." Don't be surprised if these become a new family must-have for Halloweens to come.
