How to make Easter Egg Dyed Potatoes

Let's ditch the typical eggs and reach for something a little more unexpected: potatoes! That's right, you read that correctly - Easter egg dyed potatoes are a fantastic way to shake things up and add some excitement to your holiday festivities.

Ingredients
  

  • 12-24 White or Gold Potatoes
  • Water-Based Food Coloring Varying Shades
  • Plastic Snack or Sandwich Baggies
  • Gloves
  • Paper Towels

Instructions
 

  • Set up the area you will be working on. I like lining the table with newspaper or craft paper.
  • Wash and dry your potatoes. 
  • Once the potatoes are dried, add 1-2 potatoes to a zip close baggie.
  • Then add 2-4 drops of food coloring to the baggie, depending on how bright you want the color to be.
  • Zip the baggie closed and then shake the baggie gently to get the food coloring on the the potatoe.
  • Once the potato is colored, remove it from the baggie and gently dab any access food coloring off the potatoe. 
  • Place the potato on a paper towel to dry.
  • Repeat with the rest of your potatoes and the colors that you want to use.
