Potato Candy
1 med. potato, peeled
1 tsp. vanilla
2 lbs. powdered sugar (Give or Take)
peanut butter, smooth or chunky
Boil potato until well done; drain. Mash with electric mixer; add
vanilla then the powdered sugar gradually until batter
is very stiff - about
like a pie crust. Amount of sugar depends on the
size of the potato. Roll
out into 2 - 1/8" thick rectangles on waxed paper that
has been dusted with
powdered sugar. Dust the rolling pin also. Spread each rectangle
with
peanut butter clear to the edges of dough. Roll up from long edge like
a jelly roll. Wrap in waxed paper and chill in
refrigerator. When ready
to slice, remove from fridge about 1/2 hour before.
Slice in 1/2" or
thinner slices. These pack well in boxes or
tins. Put a piece of waxed paper
between layers.
