Grandma Shufelts Potato Candy Recipes

Steps:

• Cook and mash potatoes.
• While still warm, add the powdered sugar.
• Mix well.
• Add the coconut and nuts (I use peanuts).
• Add vanilla.
• Mix well.
• Form into small shapes or balls and leave for a while to cool and set.
• Melt dipping chocolate in a double boiler.
• Using a toothpick, roll each ball into the melted chocolate.
• Store in a cool place.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes and 2 heaping tablespoons of salt in a large pot of water. Bring the water to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender when forked, 10 to 15 minutes. Chop the potatoes into 1/2-inch pieces.
• In a large bowl, add the potatoes, mayonnaise, parsley, mustard, celery, chives, onions and salt and pepper. Toss to coat the potatoes with the dressing and then add the eggs. Gently stir the potato salad, taking care not to mash the eggs. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Combine butter, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Mix brown sugar and white sugar together in another bowl.
• Layer potatoes and sugar mixture in the bottom of a slow cooker. Pour the butter mixture over the top.
• Cover and cook on Low until tender, about 6 hours.
• Remove 1/3 of the cooking liquid from the slow cooker and pour into a saucepan; whisk in cornstarch. Bring to a boil and cook until thick, about 5 minutes. Pour over potatoes and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a deep 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
• Place yellow and red potatoes into a large pot and cover with salted water; bring to a boil. Cook until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain.
• Combine mozzarella cheese, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise in a large bowl; mix well. Slowly add potatoes and toss; use a wooden spoon or flat spatula to avoid mashing the potatoes.
• Pour potatoes into the prepared pan. Dot butter over the top and cover with foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and uncover. Preheat the oven's broiler. Return to the oven and broil until top is browned, about 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Bake the sweet potatoes at 350 degrees until tender, approx 45 minutes - 1 hour. Remove the outer skins of the potatoes and mash them.
• Combine potatoes and the remaining ingredients with a mixer.
• NOTE: If you make this ahead of time, do not add the bourbon until you are ready to bake. I have made that mistake once, and the bourbon taste gets STRONG and overpowers the potatoes!
• Spread into a sprayed baking dish. I use a 2 1/2 quart round Corningware dish.
• For the topping: Mix all ingredients together except for the marshmallows. Spread the topping in an even layer over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle the marshmallows on top if you are using them. I don't like them, so I leave them off.
• Bake at 350 degrees for 30-45 minutes, or until the top gets brown and crunchy.
