This is a fun one that comes to us from the Food Network website. It’s basically ice cream rolled in cocoa powder to look like a potato and then topped with “sour cream” (whipped cream), “butter” (frozen squares of yellow frosting) and “chives” (chopped pistachios).
INGREDIENTS: 
• 1 pint vanilla ice cream
• Cocoa Powder
• Whipped topping
• Yellow frosting
• 1/4 cup chopped pistachios
DIRECTIONS:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Place the ice cream in the freezer until it hardens, about 20 to 30 minutes.
4. 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.

This is great. My husband loves bake potatoes with sour cream & chives and also love ice cream. Now he can have both at the same time
Cute idea. We make all kinds of things out of cake. Why not ice cream? I have made cakes to look like clowns,cars, hearts,etc. All it takes is just a little imagination. Who knows what we can come up with if we just put our minds to it!
I think I’ll save this one as an April Fool’s joke on the family! : )
An ice cream potato? I can only wonder what the prime rib is made of!
like to have one of them taters!
I just love this idea .I think that we can add special features to mimick the loaded Baked Potato Like Whipped Cream as Sour Cream Colored “riced “Ice cream as Scalloins nad Shredded Cheese .. It boggles the mind Cheers and enjoy Jane
Great idea!
Let me go have some ice cream now!
Cute spud!
The birthday party is on! I am late posting today as I was out and about looking for Party Cake Ice Cream! Found it. Had to go about 30 miles, but that’s no matter.
Spent the day shopping and cake baking, so tomorrow will be peanut butter and jelly cakes (my son’s favorite) and Party Cake Ice Cream. Can’t wait to try it!
Wow what a cool idea and will do it for an upcoming dinner, My guests will love it!
I’va made ’snowballs’ with a scoop rolled in coconut, but this is great, must show this to my kids and thier many friends that come here to eat T. Hill ice cream
Goodness, what imagination. Sounds and looks like a great treat to make.
When I take a bite out of Moose Tracks, I feel like I just went on a visit to heaven. I love Turkey Hill!
I love the baked potato ice cream idea. I hope I remember it when I have a birthday party for someone in the family.
What a great idea! I saw this on Food Network and loved it. It would be great with some Turkey Hill chocolate or coffee ice cream.
Keep those recipes coming!
Neat idea
I’ve used three different size scoops and mafe snowmen
Use three different size measuring scoops
Snow man lays down and you can use ice cream topping for his scarf, pretzel sticks for his arms and what ever favorite candy for nose, eys and mouth put a candy top hat on and he is cute a a button
I am wowed, full of wonder, amazement, and great pleasure. This receipe is an outstanding success!

Since I’m having T H Ice Cream for breakfast, this looks like a great Idea for dinner. I wonder what’s for lunch?
boy !!! that looks and sounds delicious // too bad i can’t have it i,m diabetic
Geez what a neat treat. Sure beats the real potato in my opinion. If there were no Turkey Hill ice cream I would never have a good night as have my bowl of it every night. That is what makes me say GOOD NIGHT to my family. Just one problem I can never make up my mind what flavor I like best. I love them all!!!
I cannot wait to try it!!!!!
Ha! That’s pretty funny.
Hey great idea what works better is I show this to my daughter who loves to be creative and she did the work and I enjoy the bounty. Keep the ideas coming.
Oh my goodness! This is such a cute idea! I will definitely have to try this one out!!
Great idea. I’ll have to try this one too. I think my kids would get a kick out of it.
Now this is the way to eat potato’s
I love baked potatoes!!!!!!! So now, I can have origional baked potatoes AND the ice cream version!!! Another thing for my cookbook!
Mint Chocolate Chip party animals unite!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now maybe I can get my grandkids to eat sweet potatoes. Great idea!!
While in Germany we used to buy Spaghetti Ice. It looked like a plate of spaghetti but it was an ice cream sundae. First there was a mound of whipped cream in the center of the plate. This was covered by softened vanilla ice cream that was squeezed out of a potato ricer to make it look like spaghetti. Then instead of tomato sauce there was strawberry sauce and a little bit of grated white chocolate took the place of cheese. It was amazing!!!
Boy, I wish I could spend my time coming up with cool (pun intended) recipes like this! Wouldn’t that be a fun occupation?
I need to have a slice of Ice Cream Baked Potato. I would like to be cheered up after watching the umpires call the game between the Red Sox and the White Sox. Ohhhh boy that sounds good!
i love it…back to school with some great new snacks for those class parties
This is Great! How creative. I would love to try this idea without being to messy. I wonder how the cocoa powder would taste? I’ll give it a try. Perhaps, I can try it out on my family. They’ll get a good laugh.
I consider myself to be “the unofficial Martha Stewart of ice cream desserts!” This one is DEFINITELY going in my recipe book!
This is a great idea!
what a great way to eat our vegetables!
