#1215 - Potato Candy

(by Shirley McNevich)

1 small red potato
Domino's powdered sugar
Jif peanut butter

Wash and peel potato--cut potato into chunks and put it in a small saucepan. Cover the potato with water and add a dash of salt--set heat on medium and bring to a boil, then cook until tender. Drain potato pieces, then place cooked pieces in a bowl and mash them (very fine). Add enough powdered sugar and keep working it until it forms a dough-like consistency. Sprinkle a little powdered sugar on your counter, place dough ball on top and sprinkle the top with powdered sugar. Use a rolling pin to roll the dough to 1/4" thick. Spread a layer of peanut butter on the top side of the dough. Start at one end and roll the dough tightly (like a jelly roll). Wrap the dough log in Saran wrap--refrigerate a few hours until stiff. Unwrap the dough log and use a sharp knife to cut the log into coin shaped pieces.
