Mashed Potato Fudge Recipe 45

Steps:

• Place potato in a large pot and cover with water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain. Cool potato until easily handled, about 5 minutes.
• Peel potato and mash into a bowl. Stir in vanilla extract. Stir in confectioners' sugar until mixture is smooth and firm. Fold in coconut.
• Grease a 9-inch cake pan with cooking spray. Spread potato mixture in the pan. Refrigerate until set, about 1 hour. Cut into squares.

Steps:

• Peel and cook potato; mash with enough milk to make it fluffy (you should have 1/3 cup mashed potato); set aside.
• Line a 8x4x2 inch loaf pan with foil, extending foil over the edges of the pan; spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
• Melt chocolate; stir in mashed potato, peanut butter, and vanilla; stir in powdered sugar (if necessary, use your hands to mix in the last 1/4 cup sugar).
• Stir in half of the peanuts.
• Turn fudge into prepared pan, press down evenly; sprinkle with remaining peanuts, then press the peanuts into the fudge.
• Chill until firm; once firm, use the foil to lift the fudge out, cut into 1 inch squares; store in a tightly covered contatiner in the fridge.
• Yield 32 pieces.

Steps:

• Line a 9" x 9" pan with waxed paper or foil and set aside.
• (This can also be done in an 8"x8" pan, but your fudge will be thicker, obviously) Heat butter and potatoes and mix until potatoes are creamy and well-blended.
• Drier potatoes will work better so if you are using mashed potatoes that are a little wet, you may want to heat them to evaporate some of the liquid.
• Heat milk in a saucepan over medium heat until warm.
• Add sugar, salt, and corn syup.
• Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon.
• Continue to boil for about 5 minutes, then add the potatoes and mix.
• Bring back to a boil for about 3 minutes or until the boiling temperature reaches 234°F on a candy thermometer.
• Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter, chocolate chips and vanilla.
• Mix thoroughly and pour into prepared pan.
• Chill.
• Remove from pan, remove paper or foil, cut into squares.
• Decorate with powdered sugar, a blend of powdered sugar and a little cocoa powder, or if you would like, you may melt some chocolate over a double boiler and dip in chocolate and let set on waxed paper.
