Potato Candy image

My children love this old-fashioned potato candy. It's so easy to make and I always have the ingredients on hand. Nutella would also work as a filling in place of peanut butter. -Bonnie Presley, Lovely, Kentucky

THE OLD FASHION POTATO CANDY

THE OLD FASHION POTATO CANDY image

This one will be a favorite one in candy dish. We added chocolate chips and peanut butter because that's a favorite flavor combination in the Test Kitchen. We can't wait to remake it with other add-ins like nuts or coconut. It's so simple to make kids can definitely help with this treat. They'll make a great hostess gift too if you're attending any holiday parties. Yummy!

1-6 cup(s) powdered sugar
1-2 teaspoon(s) vanilla extract or your choice
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- Add-Ins: chocolate, peanut butter, coconut, etc
1 pound(s) semi-sweet chocolate, chopped or chocolate chips. more if needed
1 + tablespoon(s) shortening to thin; when chocolate begins to thicken add a little more shortening. Be careful not to add too much.

Steps:

The main ingredients for this old fashioned candy are mashed potato and confectioners sugar. You can use any flavor you want and even add peanuts, coconut, chocolate, maraschino cherries and wrap dough around them. In a mixing bowl combine the potato, salt, and vanilla.

In a small pot of boiling water, cook the potato until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl; mash until smooth and lump-free (a ricer is ideal for this!) You’ll need a 1/2 cup mashed. Allow to cool slightly, but still warm.
In a extra large bowl, combine cooked potato and 2 cups of the powdered sugar until blended (at this point it will be very loose.) Stir in the vanilla.
Continue to add 1 cup of the powdered sugar at a time until the mixture forms a putty-like dough. (Use a handheld electric mixer if stirring with a wooden spoon gets too difficult.) Shape into a round.
Transfer the dough onto an 18x12 sheet of wax paper sprinkled with powdered sugar; sprinkle the top with a little powdered sugar. Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangular shape, about 1/4-inch thick; trim to form straight edges.
