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!

I'm 78 years old and my mom made this ever Xmas, in the 30's this was a big treat. She made it every year except she didn't put in chocolate. Great addition.....

I was born and raised in So. CA and my mom was born and raised Texan. We used to make Potato candy w/o the peanut butter. We would make it different flavors and roll it in colored sprinkles so, no, it isn't a southern candy--it used to be made all over the country. There are so many flavors and ways to make this candy. I've never dipped it in chocolate before either. I have to try it this way. Thanks for reminding me about an old favorite.
