Potato Candy
Potato candy is a Pennsylvania Dutch treat. Although it is hard work to make it, it's worth the effort because kids and adults like its taste.
Ingredients:
one medium, cooked mashed potato (instead of mashed potatoes, 4 oz of cream cheese may be used)
1 tablespoon of butter
dash of Vanilla
1 lb. powdered sugar
peanut butter
Directions:
1) Make mashed potatoes and keep to dough-like consistency, similar to pie dough. (instead of mashed potatoes, soften 4 oz cream cheese and one tablespoon of butter).
2) Add a dash of vanilla and one lb. of powdered sugar to potatoes.
3) Roll out on wax paper using some flour so dough won't stick. Dough is a little easier to work with if chilled before rolling out.
4) After you have rolled out to a smooth dough and to desired thickness, spread with peanut butter.
5) Then roll up and slice into pieces of candy. You can also roll into small individual rolls. Refrigerate and slice.
6) Enjoy eating this Pennsyvania Dutch treat!
