Yield:
4 coffins

Ingredients

  • 2 medium russet potatoes

  • 4 teaspoons olive oil

  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

  • 4 teaspoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • 12 frozen cooked meatballs (such as Johnsonville®), thawed

  • 4 (1 ounce) sticks string cheese sticks, pulled into thin strips

  • 8 candy eyeballs

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

  2. Pierce potatoes with a fork and microwave for 10 minutes. Let cool until safe to handle. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving 1/2 inch around the shell. Discard flesh or save for another use.

  3. Place potato halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Rub each half with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Flip potatoes over. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven until shells are crisp, 12 to 15 minutes.

  5. Meanwhile, place meatballs on microwave-safe plates. Cover with paper towels. Microwave until hot, 70 to 75 seconds per batch. Let rest until cool enough to not melt the cheese.

  6. Wrap 1/4 of the cheese strings around 3 meatballs to create a mummy effect. Repeat with remaining cheese and meatballs.

  7. Remove potato skin coffins from the oven and place a mummy in each coffin. Apply candy eyeballs.
