Easter Potato Decorating Experiment = FAIL

Ok, it SEEMED like a worthwhile experiment at the time. But look (Flash required):

Just doesn't seem quite as festive as colored Easter eggs, does it?

Later edit:

Ok, I've been told that the experiment might have been saved if I had skinned and boiled the potatoes first. Thanks, April Brown and Stacie! Hm, and now I'm hungry for some reason.

A tweet from my friend Amy McNally: "It didn't fail!  The colors just turned out a little boring.  *cackles with laughter*  ...Ahem.  Sorry.."
