Ingredients

For the "butter" frosting:

  • Yellow frosting

For the potato ice cream:

  • 1 pint vanilla ice cream
  • Cocoa Powder (recommended: Hershey's)
  • Whipped topping (recommended: Cool Whip)
  • Yellow frosting (recommended: Betty Crocker)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pistachios

For the "butter" frosting:

Directions

Line the inside of a cover of a butter dish with plastic wrap. Fill the cover completely with yellow frosting and freeze until hard. Lift the "butter" out of the cover using the plastic wrap. Cut into squares.

For the potato ice cream:

Have a sheet pan covered with plastic wrap. On 1/2 of the pan, place the pint of ice cream down on its side. Fold the plastic over the ice cream and make a seal.

Using your hands, quickly form the ice cream into a potato shape. Then, create a wedge across the length of the potato. Tightly twist the ends of the plastic wrap and make knots at each end, like a mozzarella ball.

Place the ice cream in the freezer until it hardens, about 20 to 30 minutes.

Remove the ice cream from the freezer, unwrap and dust all over with cocoa powder. Fill the wedge with whipped topping and place a pat of "butter" frosting on top. Sprinkle with pistachios and serve immediately.

    Very creative and delicious. I made this for my daughter's 22nd birthday instead of cake. She loves potatoes in any form and thought this was great. I had one left over and gave it to our neighbors to enjoy. I used lemon frosting for the "butter" and it was a perfect addition. Plain cocoa powder was just right as it offset the sweetness a bit. Will definitely do this again.

    I made these for April Fool's Day, and my family loved them! Rather than plain cocoa powder, I used hot chocolate mix. And I used yellow Starburst candies for butter. It was a fun and yummy dessert.

    What a hack, the Idaho State Fair does a way better job with this dessert then Sandra ever could. None of that gross frosting butter or chive pistachios nonsense.
    Just take vanilla ice cream and quickly mold and roll it in cocoa powder or hot chocolate mix, cleave, add whip cream, and sprinkle with oreo pieces and nut topping, maybe some chocolate syrup. That's it, with practice even a high school student can do it. It's laughable if she thinks she is being original with this. If anyone is curious what the state fair version looks like, look no farther then Google. I must admit though, it's not the dessert for everyone even if it's not ridden with frosting butter.
