26 to 31 and 16:30 to 20:00.

MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

      Title: Halloween Haunted Hash Browns
 Categories: Potatoes, Greens, Vegetables, Dairy, Cheese
      Yield: 12 servings

      4 md Potatoes; grated
    1/2 lg Onion; fine chopped
      1 lg Egg
      2 tb A-P flour
           Salt & pepper
           Oil for frying
           Black olives; for the eyes
           Ketchup or salsa; as a dip

  Grate potatoes using the large holes of a box grater.
  Place in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much
  moisture as possible.

  In a large bowl, mix grated potatoes, onion, egg, flour,
  salt, and pepper until combined. Add more flour if too
  wet or another egg if too dry.

  Shape about 1/4 cup of mixture into ghost shapes with
  slightly wet hands.

  Heat 1/4" of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry
  ghost shapes for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and
  crispy.

  Drain on paper towels. While still warm, press in small
  pieces of black olives for eyes.

  UDD NOTE: Place pimento pieces for the iris of the eye to 
  really make it "spooky".

  Serve immediately with ketchup or salsa for dipping.
