BAKED POTATO ICE CREAM
Steps:
- For the "butter" frosting: Line the inside of a cover of a butter dish with plastic wrap. Fill the cover completely with yellow frosting and freeze until hard. Lift the "butter" out of the cover using the plastic wrap. Cut into squares.;
- For the potato ice cream: Have a sheet pan covered with plastic wrap. On 1/2 of the pan, place the pint of ice cream down on its side. Fold the plastic over the ice cream and make a seal.
- Using your hands, quickly form the ice cream into a potato shape. Then, create a wedge across the length of the potato. Tightly twist the ends of the plastic wrap and make knots at each end, like a mozzarella ball.
- Place the ice cream in the freezer until it hardens, about 20 to 30 minutes.
- Remove the ice cream from the freezer, unwrap and dust all over with cocoa powder. Fill the wedge with whipped topping and place a pat of "butter" frosting on top. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve immediately.

- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; mix in yellow food coloring. Using an offset spatula, spread yellow butter 1/4 inch thick on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet; freeze for 20 minutes. Cut into 1-inch "butter pats," and set aside.

Steps:
- Take 2 large scoops of vanilla ice cream and place on a large piece of plastic wrap. Wrap up and mold with hands into a potato shape. Put in freezer to set (about 20 minutes).
- Put cocoa powder into a bowl and roll unwrapped ice cream potato in the powder until completely covered. Slice the top of your ice cream potato and pull back edges a bit to make room for your whipped topping (Cool Whip) and Starburst candy butter. Shake off excess cocoa powder and place on a plate. Top with a dollop of Cool Whip for the "sour cream".
- Place your unwrapped yellow Starburst candy in the microwave for 10 seconds to soften - then press the edges out to make a larger "pat of butter". Top your potato and enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose the right potatoes: Use baking potatoes that are large and have smooth skin. Avoid potatoes that are too small or have blemishes.
- Bake the potatoes properly: Bake the potatoes until they are tender and fluffy. You can check if they are done by inserting a fork into the center of the potato. If the fork goes in easily, the potato is done.
- Use a good quality ice cream: Choose an ice cream that you enjoy the flavor of. You can use any type of ice cream, but I recommend using a vanilla or chocolate ice cream.
- Be creative with your toppings: You can use any type of toppings that you like. Some popular options include bacon, cheese, chili, and sour cream.
