Ingredients

  • 2 medium potatoes (2 cups total when mashed)
  • 1 stick butter
  • 2 (1-pound) boxes confectioners' sugar
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 cups melted chocolate

Directions

Boil and mash potatoes, then cool to room temperature. Add butter to potatoes. Mix potatoes, sugar, and vanilla extract, and chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour. The mixture should be the consistency of marzipan. Divide into 16 equal pieces and roll into egg shapes. Freeze them for 30 minutes. Dip pieces into melted chocolate to cover, transfer to a rack for the chocolate to harden. Serve cold.

    my family has been making potato candy for years.we just never shaped it.we use 2-3 tbsp leftover mashed potatoes(they... already are flavored with butter)add vanilla( we never measure it)stir together slowly add powdered sugar to form dough.this will get soupy just keep adding powdered sugar.we roll the dough out like a pie crust spread with peanutbutter,roll up & slice.depending on the time of year we add a few drops of food coloring to potato dough.i am 44 and have been eating this candy ever since i can remember to everyone with the bad reviews give it a try again.this candy is really good brendaRead more

    VERY disappointed

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I was very excited to try this recipe, I watched Paula make it on her show. When I tried it at home, the first batch turned... out soupy, never set. I tried it again with instant potatoes and froze it this time. I was able to get them in the chocolate but the inside melted on the table when i served them. Not a good recipe :(Read more

    Not what the recipe sad

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I made the candy following directions some other people put on the site that had tried it. Use only 1/2 cup of potatoes and... two tablespoons of butter. They were way too sweet for my family. I will not make them again.Read more
