Does anybody have a recipe for potato candy?!


Question: My mom made it a few times when we were little. I remember it being really sweet and even as a kid you didn't eat too much.

This is the recipe my father taught me to make. It's one of the most delicious candys I know.

1 medium baked potato, cooled
1 bag powdered sugar
peanut butter

Peel and mash the potato very fine. add powered sugar a little at a time, mashing it throughly into the potato with each addition. Do not be alarmed if it turns very soupy at first, it will stiffen up as you add more powdered sugar. When you have added enough powdered sugar to make a fairly stiff dough, dust a clean countertop or large cutting board with powdered sugar, turn the dough onto it, and roll out to roughly 1/4" thickness. Spread peanut butter on top, and roll like a cinnamon roll. cut into 1/4" thick slices and place on a plate. If your kitchen is warm, you may need to put the roll into the fridge for a few minutes before it will cut nicely.

I hope this is what you were looking for!

I did a Yahoo search under "potato candy recipe", and there's a million of them. Here's just one of them:

I notice others including one with peanut butter in it, so you may want to search thru them for yourself and see what looks similar.
