Gram'S Potato Candy

Gram'S Potato Candy


1. Place potato cubes in a small sauce pan and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and cool.

2. Mash potato in a large bowl until smooth.

3. Stir 1 cup confectioners' sugar into mashed potato; mix well. Gradually stir remaining confectioners' sugar and milk to form a firm dough. Incorporate green food coloring at this point if using.

4. Sprinkle work surface with confectioners' sugar, and roll dough into an 8x12-inch rectangle about 1/2 inch thick.

5. Spread peanut butter evenly onto the dough.

6. Tightly roll dough into a log, jelly roll-style, beginning at the wide end.

7. Wrap log in plastic wrap and chill in refrigerator until the candy sets up, about 1 hour. Cut into 1/4-inch slices.
