How To Make potato candy

  • 1
    In a large bowl, mix mashed potato and vanilla extract. Slowly stir in Confection sugar. Be aware that the potatoes will become very runny when you first start.
  • 2
    The mixture will form a dough when you have added enough confection sugar. Reserve a little bit of the sugar for dusting. When you have a ball of dough formed, dust a clean surface and turn dough out onto that surface. You will want to roll out the dough to about 1/2 inch thick.

    With a large spoon or spatula, spread peanut butter on the top of the dough mixture but keep back about 1/2 and inch from the edge. Start at one end and roll the dough and peanut butter mix like a cake roll. Place on a sheet pan and put in the refridgerator for about an hour. Remove and slice into pieces about 1/2 and inch thick.
