First, make sure your potatoes are clean and dry.
Next, prepare your surface. You can cover your area with newspaper, paper towels or even plastic wrap. Just make sure you are wearing old clothes and working on a surface that is covered to avoid any staining.
Next, lay your potatoes out on paper towels and gather your food coloring and brushes.
Take a drop of food color, gel or liquid, and drop it on the potato.
Next, take your paintbrush and paint the food coloring all over the potato, and let dry on the paper towel.
Let the potatoes dry for several hours or overnight is best, before displaying them on your table or windowsill as part of your Easter decorations.
Once your painted potatoes are dry, you can add some finishing touches by adding glitter or other embellishments if desired. You could also write names on each potato so that everyone knows which one belongs to whom!
