Potato Peanut Butter Candy

Okay Stacie, this one's for you!



Peel and boil a medium Irish Potato. Cool, then mash. Into the potato, work in 1 to 1 1/2 box of powdered sugar - add sugar until mixture is stiff. Turn out onto wax paper sprinkled with powdered sugar. Press flat to 1/4 to 3/8 inch, then smear with peanut butter. Roll and chill. When set, cut into slices.

Note - after turning out and pressing flat, cut potato/sugar "dough" into 2-3 inch strips. This makes it easier to roll up. Roll longways as you would a jello roll long side to long side. The finished candy should be between the size of a quarter to a half dollar.

Once you get the hang of it, this is one of the easiest candies to make and so delicious! Will melt in your mouth!
