Irish potato candy (with potatoes)
Ingredients
1/2 c Mashed potatoes
1/2 ts Vanilla
1 lb Sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tb Ground cinnamon
Directions
Combine mashed potatoes and vanilla. Adding one cup at a time, blend in enough confectioners' sugar to form a stiff, nonsticky dough. (Ju tatoes. Baked potatoes tend to be drier than boiled; leftovers tend to be drier than fresh.) Working with about 1 teaspoon of mixture for each candy, shape into
small irregular spheres (like new potatoes) and set out on wax paper time, in a plastic bag with ground cinnamon. Shake off excess cinnamon. Store candies in cool place or refrigerate. Makes about 3 dozen
