Apocalypse Ghost Chili Potatoes Food

GHOST FRIED POTATOES

Steps:

• Wash and cut the potatoes as desired (I usually cut lengthwise making round slices around 1/8 inch thick). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large skillet and just before putting the tomatoes in put one ghost chili in the oil (handle the pepper very carefully and wash your hands after touching it). Cook the potatoes in the oil turning once and when golden brown (4-8 minutes) place them on a plate covered with paper towels to soak up the oil and discard the ghost chili. Sprinkle with salt and pepper if desired and serve immediately.

POTATO GHOSTS

Steps:

• Peel and quarter potatoes, then cover with water in a 4-quart pot and season well with salt. Simmer, partially covered, until tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• While potatoes are simmering, heat butter and milk in a small saucepan until butter is melted. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
• Preheat oven to 400°F with rack in middle.
• Drain potatoes and force through ricer into a large bowl (or mixer bowl if using stand mixer). Beat in milk mixture, yolks, and 1/2 teaspoon each of salt and pepper with an electric mixer at low speed until combined.
• Spread about one-third of potatoes in a buttered 1 1/2-quart shallow ovenproof dish. Transfer remaining potatoes to pastry bag. Pipe potatoes close together into 2 1/2- to 3-inch-high pointed mounds to form "'ghosts" and garnish each mound with 2 seeds for "eyes."
• Bake until tips of ghosts are golden and potatoes are firm, 20 to 25 minutes.
