Potato Candy
Report
An old fashioned fun candy, this Potato Candy is made from mashed potatoes, powdered sugar, and peanut butter. They are super sweet but super fun!

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup mashed potatoes*
- 1 tablespoon milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
- 5-6 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
Instructions
- Combine the potatoes, milk, vanilla extract, and salt in a large bowl. Mix to combined.
- Start adding in the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. Once you have added about 4 cups, start adding a little at a time. It will all come together into a dough. It will be hard to stir, so once it gets too hard to stir, pour it out onto a counter and knead, adding more powdered sugar as needed.
- Once you have a stiff dough, transfer to a piece of parchment paper that has been sprinkled generously with powdered sugar. Roll the dough out with a rolling pin into a large rectangle, about 12 inches by 16 inches.
- Spread the peanut butter evenly over the dough.
- Roll the dough up jelly roll style, using the parchment paper to help roll the dough tightly.
- Once the dough is rolled into a cylinder, I like to take it and stretch it to about 24 inches long to make it a little bit skinner.
- Wrap the roll in plastic wrap. (It is usually easier to cut the roll in half then wrap the two sections separately.) Refrigerate for at least an hour, or overnight.
- Once completely chilled, remove the plastic wrap and cut into pinwheels. You should get about 40 pieces, depending on how thick you cut them.
Notes
- *I have only ever used this using plain mashed potatoes. It should take about 1 small/medium potato. I have not tried this recipe using leftover potatoes.
