Unique Mashed Potato Puffs-tell the kids they're french fries

Mashed Potato Puffs-tell the kids they're french fries

Take your favorite mashed potato recipe and try this one.  One trick I use is to bake the potato instead of boiling the potatoes for this recipe.  Actually I wash the potatoes well, poke each with a knife and microwave them (3 large ) for about 8-9 minutes on High until soft. 

Cut in half and scoop out inside into a bowl.  Do this for all potatoes. Add butter, salt and pepper to your taste. 

Place into a pastry bag, in my case, no tip was used at all, and then bring the tip towards you three times, and move onto the next one.  Then at this point, you can place in the refrigerator until service time.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.  They are a surprising unique way to eat mashed potatoes.  They are a finger food, and they are simply mashed potatoes as well.  My son said that they seem like bread initially, but then the mashed potato part comes into play.  He also liked picking up his mashed potatoes as a finger food.
