Vomiting Potato Monsters (for Halloween!)

By 105 Comments

Prepare to get your spook-on with these vomiting potato monsters! Halloween is looking mighty scary with The Little Potato Company and my continued brand ambassadorship (plus another chance to win a month’s worth of free potatoes!)

The photos and recipe for these vomiting potato monsters have been updated as of September 21st, 2017!

Okay, I will admit, today’s recipe is kind of gross, but not as bad as some others I have seen online.

I mean, there are molds that literally look like human faces for solid dips/cheese balls, and don’t get me started on the food that is topped with candy maggots… Shudder.

That being said, I want to do something crazy and Halloween-like using The Little Potato Company‘s #Creamerpotatoes. I hope these vomiting potato monsters translate well (and actually look like monsters!) You will not believe how much I struggle when it comes to creativity for specific holidays. Some people are just gifted, and I am not in this case, but I still think they turned out super cute and monster-like!

My favourite are definitely the olive-eyed ones. And I don’t even like olives! They just represent monsters perfectly 🙂

I also think this recipe would be great for kids (sadly, my daughter has begun school so I do not have my partner-in-crime during the week anymore.) Plus, if you are using one of the varietals of potatoes from The Little Potato Company, you are safe to say these little monsters are gluten-free!

For vegan and allergy-friendly dip recipes, I am sure you can consult online, but I prefer my favourite brand of spinach artichoke dip! Makes the recipe a breeze!

I went with The Little Potato Company’s BBQ Potatoes to save time and effort (pre-seasoned and complete in about 30 minutes.) In the past I have gone with their Microwave Ready packages and found no issues! However, Dan and I both agree that using any other of their varietals would work because the spinach dip is quite powerful and kind of masks the seasoning on the potatoes. Just boil some Creamer Potatoes in salt water, drain, rinse in cold water, and season with salt and pepper. That’s it! Roasting them really adds depth, and let’s be honest, some garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne has never hurt anyone 😉

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Creamer potatoes (I used The Little Potato Company's Oven-Ready Package )
  • 2 tbsp. butter or oil (for the potatoes)
  • 1 (227g) container spinach and artichoke dip
    • Toppings for Monsters:
  • Olives
  • Food colouring if desired
  • Carrots
  • Snap peas
  • Celery

Instructions

  1. If using the oven-ready package, follow the instructions listed on the box. If using another type of Creamer potato, toss potatoes in butter or oil. Season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika if desired. Place onto baking sheet and roast at 450F for 30 minutes, or until tender. Allow to cool.
    2. Assembly
  2. Slice a small portion from the bottom of each potato so they can stand upright on their own. Cut out a slit in each potato to represent a mouth (you can change the shape up however you see fit: round mouth, smiling mouth, sad mouth, etc.)
  3. Arrange potatoes on plate and assemble with desired "monster-like" toppings! Olive slices, carrots cut thin, food coloured spinach dip, etc. You can get really creative here! To get the items to stick, slightly moisten the food with the spinach dip and stick onto potatoes. To attach the ears and hair, make tiny slits with a paring knife and wedge vegetables in place. Finish by placing a desired amount of dip in front of each potato (you can also colour the dip green or another colour to create a truer sense of "vomit."
  4. Serve as is or with toothpicks!

Notes

Using LPC's oven-ready packages allows for less work (they come with their own seasoning!) Otherwise, leftover roasted potatoes would work here, too! Just season accordingly!

  8. These are so cute! I don't know what you mean with not being creative because I've never seen anything like this. I've seen other puking food, but not cute little potatoes. ;) Cool giveaway! Wish I still lived in the US. :)

  10. Gotta love a gal who's not afraid to start a recipe off with vomiting. And, no I'm not being facetious, I talk about fart jokes on my blog! I love these little monsters! They look really yummy. My little helpers would really get into decorating these.

  12. Oh my gosh, these are disgusting and so awesome! We are big halloween-loving family and I can't wait to make these! My four year old boy will especially love them.

  21. I would cute them in half and melt cheese over them. Them using black olives try and cut shapes out so I could decorate them like jack-o-lanterns.

  32. Your little monsters are so cute! I'd make mine vomit rosemary and garlic mashed potatoes, with a little paprika to make it "bloody". I love the olives for eyes!

  45. I would use them as a body and have light brown spider legs coming out of them. And have big black eyeballs. Just have to figure out what to use.

  52. Yay, I would use the same method. Divine. Starving artist here desperately needs the month of potato to eat. A life changing exp. Thank you for the awesomeness, the contest, and generosity. :)

  53. I like the olive eyes because, in addition to the creativity, olives and potatoes look great together! I was thinking that mashed potatoes would be good for the vomit!

  57. Since my son loges veggies I would top my potato monsters with broccoli sticks, carrot sticks and Brussels sprouts: )

  68. I'm really not sure. I do like the Minion idea but yours is great! Maybe I would incorporate artichokes some how.

  70. I would make my potato monsters with a bacon tongue and maybe some sour cream mixed with paprika to look like blood.

  74. I would decorate my little potato monsters with colourful hair. Green coleslaw mohawks and red cabbage afros. A creamy garlic mummy wrap might be in order too! Yumm!

  75. I am not that creative so I think I would just add some basil for ears, peas for eyes, a kernal corn for a nose and a carrot stick for the mouth.

  79. i wouldnt even get the chance to decorate them, my daughter loves these and she would eat them as soon as they were cool enough to go in her little mouth :)

  82. I would decorate my Little Potato monsters as vampires. I would use olives for eyes, carve in the fangs and use ketchup for blood.
