Notes

For perfectly shaped skull potatoes, ensure you cut them thick enough so they hold their form during baking. Consider using a paring knife for intricate designs or a biscuit cutter shaped like a skull to speed up the process. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
