Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Small knife
  • Spoon
  • Having the right tools makes everything easier. I always make sure to have these on hand.
  • Plus, cleanup is much simpler with parchment paper!

Ingredients
  

  • 12 small potatoes
  • 4 tablespoons cream cheese
  • 12 small black olives
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika for garnish

Each ingredient plays a role in making these eyeballs look and taste amazing.

The cream cheese gives a creamy touch, while olives act as the pupils. 😋

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Slice the top off each potato and scoop a bit out.
  • Mix cream cheese with salt and pepper.
  • Fill potatoes with the cheese mixture.
  • Place an olive slice as the pupil.
  • Arrange potatoes on the baking sheet.
  • Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with paprika.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes until potatoes are tender.

These steps ensure I get the best texture and flavor.

    I love how the spices add an extra punch! 🌟

      Notes

      I like using small potatoes because they're bite-sized and cook quickly.
      Adjust the seasoning to your taste.
      For a fun twist, try different olives or add a dash of hot sauce for a spicy kick.
      Keep an eye on them while they're baking. They should be soft to the touch but not too mushy.
      Enjoy the tasty little bites! 😊
