I tried this recipe , even though it didn't have great reviews and found it to be very good. lk5923 was right. Prepare 2 cups of mashed potatoes, cool completely, then add and mix in 1 stick of butter (I used light margarine at room temp., and the vanilla. Make sure the potatoes are dry. The mixture was too dry, so I added another approx. 1/4 c. of the potato mixture. It was very firm to work with and definitely not soupy. I divided the dough and mixed in some peanut butter. I really liked it better, not as sweet as the plain dough. Try it. I think you'll like it.

There is something wrong with the written directions. I too had to throw out the batch. Too soupy. What a waste of supplies.
Help, Paula!

paula was saying to make 2 cups of mashed potatoes with the 1 stick of butter added to it and then only use 1/2 cup and add more if need be and that is why it is not coming out right for so many people:
