Here's a fun idea for a St. Patty's Day party: Make your own potato place card holders to use for place settings or labeling food on your buffet. Print the names on regular printer paper. Using a business card as a template, trace the shape on the back of the paper behind each name so it’s centered in the template. Cut the name cards out, lay them flat on a table, place a toothpick in the center of each and affix it to the name card with a single piece of tape. Stick the toothpick into a potato, using the potato as the place card holder. If your potato is wobbly, slice a thin strip off of one side to create a flat surface for the potato to rest on (just be sure to place a sliced potato on a plate or napkin to prevent damage to your table or tablecloth).
