Ingredients
- This recipe was made every year at Christmas, without the chocolate, until my great grandmother passed away. I recently decided to add melted chocolate...just to spice it up a bit!
- 1 medium potato, peeled
- 1/2 cup melted semisweet chocolate
- 4 cups confectioners sugar
- 1 cup peanut butter
Directions
Boil potato until very tender. In small bowl, mash potato with fork or masher. Add 3 1/2 cups of confectioners' sugar slowly until thick dough like consistency. Spread remaining sugar on flat surface and roll out dough evenly. Spread on peanut butter and chocolate.Roll into log and cut into 1 inch pieces! Yummy!

my husband is from kentucky. he made this candy for me after we were married. had never had it before. the chocolate might be a nice addition.wonder if just the peanut butter was inside then dip in a coating of chocolate would work

Wow, this was a favorite of mine and my siblings growing up. The recipe my mother made came from my fathers Grandmother but we always made it with left over mashed potato. Just so you don't have pepper in it. We used cold mashed potato, a smidgen of butter (the real stuff and then added the powdered sugar and a little vanilla. My mom only ever used a couple of tablespoons of potato as it takes quite a bit of powdered sugar to make the dough. Gosh, I had forgotten about this recipe until I noticed this one. : I think I might make a batch. Thanks for the reminder but I don't think I will use the chocolate. I guess I'm a traditionalist
