For a smoky flavor, try using smoked paprika instead of Italian seasoning on the potato skins. If you're short on time, pre-cooked potato skins from the grocery store can be used. Make sure the meatballs are not too hot when wrapping them with cheese, or the cheese will melt completely.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepPierce potatoes with a fork and microwave for 10 minutes. Let cool until safe to handle. Cut in half lengthwise and scoop out most of the flesh, leaving 1/2 inch around the shell. Discard flesh or save for another use. (Cook time: 15 minutes)
03
StepPlace potato halves cut-side down on a baking sheet. Rub each half with 1 teaspoon olive oil. Flip potatoes over. Sprinkle each with 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning and 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
04
StepBake in the preheated oven until shells are crisp, 12 to 15 minutes. (Bake time: 12-15 minutes)
05
StepMeanwhile, place meatballs on microwave-safe plates. Cover with paper towels. Microwave until hot, 70 to 75 seconds per batch. Let rest until cool enough to not melt the cheese. (Cook time: 3 minutes)
06
StepWrap 1/4 of the cheese strings around 3 meatballs to create a mummy effect. Repeat with remaining cheese and meatballs. (Prep time: 10 minutes)
07
StepRemove potato skin coffins from the oven and place a mummy in each coffin. Apply candy eyeballs. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
