Instructions
  1. Faked Potato - Step 1 For each potato, stuff an 8-inch section of nude-colored nylons with pillow batting (A).

  2. Faked Potato - Step 2 Twist both ends and use a needle and thread to sew them to the bottom (B).

  3. Faked Potato - Step 3 For each eye, push the threaded needle up from the bottom and out the top of the potato, then back through about 1/8 inch from where it came out (C). Pull the needle out the bottom and knot the thread to secure it. Before "serving," use scissors to cut a slit in the top and add a pat of craft foam butter.
