Potato Candy
What you need:
- 1 medium size potato, baked
- 1 stick melted butter
- 1/2 tsp. vanilla
- 2 lb. powdered sugar, plus some
- Peanut Butter (creamy)
Directions:
- Peel baked potato and mash with a fork until smooth and free of lumps.
- Add melted butter and vanilla; stir.
- Work in sugar gradually until a stiff "dough" forms.
- Sprinkle wax paper with powdered sugar.
- Roll out potato dough to 1/4-inch thickness.
- Spread peanut butter over dough.
- Roll up like a jelly roll.
- Refrigerate until firm; slice.
Tips:
*You may have to use more or less powdered sugar, depending on your potato's size. I had to use 2.5 lbs. on mine because it was bigger.
*The "dough" can be very sticky, do not be afraid to sprinkle it with powdered sugar.
*Store in the refrigerator so it stays firm.
