Ingredients

4 pounds potatoes
large, preferably white-fleshed
*
¾ stick butter, unsalted
cut into pieces
1 ¼ cups milk
whole
3 large egg yolks
caraway seeds

*

Directions

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 ½ teaspoon each of salt and pepper with an electric mixer at low speed until well mixed.

Spread about one-third of potatoes in a greased (butter or cooking spray) 1½-quart shallow ovenproof dish.

Transfer remaining potatoes to pastry bag.

Pipe potatoes close together into 1½- 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.

Serve and enjoy!
