Make asteroids you can eat!

Make asteroids you can eat!

Create your own odd-shaped asteroids out of plain old mashed potatoes. Bake them in the oven to turn them (more or less) asteroid color. Then eat your asteroids for dinner!

I suggest you find a grown-up to share this activity with you. 

Making Your Asteroids
Ingredients:
Potatoes:
Enough to make 4 to 8 cups of mashed potatoes. You can use frozen mashed potatoes. Or you can use fresh mashed potatoes (takes about 5 pounds to make 6 cups of mashed potatoes). Or you can use instant mashed potatoes. (Just don't make them too soft.)
1 cup grated cheddar (or other kind) cheese

Note: The cheese will make the asteroids more delicious, but when it melts, the asteroids might go flat. If you want more realistic asteroids that don't taste quite as interesting, leave out the cheese.

 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) of butter or margarine
 Salt and pepper, as you like it
Extra butter or margarine to grease the cookie sheet and, if you like, to melt over the hot asteroids before you eat them

Utensils:

Depending on how you make your mashed potatoes, you might need a pot and a potato masher or electric mixer
Mixing bowl and spoon
 Oven mitt or pot holders
 Cookie sheet

Process: 
 Turn on your oven to 375° Fahrenheit (190 Celsius).
Take a little slice of the butter or margarine and rub it evenly on the cookie sheet so the asteroids won't stick. (You might want to use a paper towel for this so your fingers don't get all messy—yet!)
 Make the mashed potatoes.
