Idaho® Potato Black & White Cookies
Chef Jenni Fields’ Idaho® Potato Black and White Cookies are the perfect festive dessert for your Halloween celebration! You may be thinking, “Why add Idaho® potatoes to cookie dough?” The reason is… moisture! When the starch granules in spuds are baked, they swell up with moisture giving the cookies a soft and tender texture and will stay that way for several days longer than the average cookie. Of course, it also tastes delicious! For more Idaho® potato Halloween recipes visit the IPC website.

Ask Dr. Potato: How do I get a fluffy texture in my mashed Idaho® Russet potatoes?
A: We recommend two ways to create fluffy mashed Idaho® potatoes.
The first option is to peel and cut the potato into evenly sized chunks (1½ to 2 inch cubes), then boil the potato pieces until tender. Drain the water and mash.
The second option, for a drier mashed potato dish (but still fluffy!), is to bake the potatoes with the skin on until the potatoes reach 210°F on the inside. Don’t wrap them in foil! Using oven mitts, slice the cooked potatoes vertically in half, scoop out the insides and mash in a bowl. Typically, this preparation results in extra fluffy mashed potatoes due to the oven removing most of the potato's moisture while baking.
