Ingredients

4 pounds large potatoes

3/4 stick (6 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into pieces

1 1/4 cups milk

3 large egg yolks

small dark seeds such as black sesame seeds or nigella, cumin seeds or caraway seeds for eyes

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 F.

Peel and quarter potatoes and in a large saucepan cover with salted cold water by 2 inches.

Bring water to a boil and simmer potatoes until tender, about 15 minutes

While potatoes are simmering, in a small saucepan heat butter with milk over moderately low heat until melted and keep warm.

Drain potatoes in a colander and place in a bowl.

With an electric mixer beat in milk mixture, yokes and salt and pepper to taste.

Spread about one third of the potatoes in a buttered 1 quart gratin dish and transfer remaining potatoes to a pastery bag fitted with a 3/4 inch plain tip.

Pipe potatoes close together into pointed mounds for form "ghosts" and garnish each mound with 2 seeds for ghosts' eyes.

Bake potatoes until heated through and tops of "ghosts" are golden, 15 to 20 minutes

Be very afraid.
