How To Make potato candy

  • Step 1
    Cut peeled potato into cubes and boil until tender.
  • Step 2
    Drain all water and begin beating in confectioner's sugar. Continue adding confectioner's sugar until the potato forms a "dough".
  • Step 3
    Place the "dough" onto a sheet of waxed paper and roll into a rectangle that is about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
  • Step 4
    Spread peanut butter all over the "dough"
  • Step 5
    Roll the "dough" up like you would a jelly roll. Keep it wrapped in the waxed paper and place in the refrigerator until cold, about 1 hour.
  • Step 6
    Once the roll is cold remove from the refrigerator, and slice into 1/4 inch coin shaped pieces of candy. Serve.
  • Step 7
    This candy can be wrapped in plastic wrap and stored in the refrigerator for at least a week.
