Serves/Makes:4 dozen pieces

Ingredients

• 1 medium sized potatos
• 1 tsp (5 ml) vanilla
• Approximately 6 cups (1425 ml) confectionery sugar
• Peanut Butter to one's liking (approximately 6 tbsp)

Preparation

• Cook potato, cool, and mash.
• Potato must be cold! It is best if it has been refrigerated for awhile.
• Mashing: It is best if you can put the potato through a potato ricer as you DEFINITELY DO NOT want ANY lumps!
• Add vanilla and enough powdered sugar to resemble a dough.
• Divide in two.
• Roll out just like you would a pie crust, spread peanut butter, roll up into a small roll, refrigerate about 3 hours, then cut into small pieces. Make sure it is cold when you cut it.

My mother used to make this candy with left over potatoes when I was a child. You might want to cook a few extra ones!
