Though it's optional, I suggest having water and paper towels on hand for easy brush cleanup. You may also want to wear gloves so that you don't dye your hands as you're dying the potatoes.
Start with one potato and squeeze a drop of food coloring over the top.
Using a paint brush, spread the dye evenly over the potato. One drop goes a long way but you can add more as needed.
Let your dyed potatoes dry on paper towels for about 10 minutes. To keep the dye from rubbing off on your fingers later, you can add a light coat of hairspray, then let dry for a few more minutes.
How cute are these? It's such a fun twist on our favorite Easter tradition!

The time allotted above is 5 minutes per potato but of course you can make as many as you'd like!
It's important that you use liquid food coloring and not gel. The gel doesn't dry like the liquid coloring does.
Try brushing on a few different colors for a multi-colored potato.
