POTATO CANDY THE #1 MUST HAVE ON HOLIDAYS
One of the FIRST treats made for all our Holiday gatherings or parties. People can't stop eating it! This candy was first introduced to me by my husband 21 years ago. I thought the man was insane when I heard the name of it, and when I saw the ingredients, I knew he was crazy. I was addicted after the first bite! Please read the instructions carefully as size DOES matter! One of the most intense flavors I have ever met, completely satisfying for anyone craving sweets.

Steps:
- wash the potato well - and boil in enough water to cover it completely until extremely well cooked.
- rinse potato in cold water while removing skin, allowing it to cool down slightly.
- place potato in large mixing bowl and smash to a smooth paste.
- add powdered sugar and mix well, until it forms a smooth dough.
- roll dough out on a smooth surface sprinkled with powdered sugar so it will not stick.
- spread peanut butter on in a smooth layer, not too thick.
- sprinkle on pecan meal.
- roll up into a log, as tight as you can without breaking dough.
- slice into sections approximately 1/2 inch and place on a serving tray.
- Do Not Stack candy on top of each other!
- Cover with plastic wrap and place in refrigerator for at least 30 min to chill and set.
- *NOTE: If you cannot find Pecan Meal you can use finely chopped pecans, or make your own by placing the nuts in food processor - adding a small amount of granulated sugar to keep the meats from turning into a tight paste.
- **Special Variations:.
- One year I used an all Natural Cashew Butter. Again from my health food store. They were absolutely FANTASTIC!
- These are a great finger food to be served at parties of any caliber. We have taken them to picnic family reunions, and added them to weddings, where everyone brings food to add to the reception. They are a No Fail addition to any meal.
- Store in an airtight container.
- Photo to follow soon.
- I am unsure of time, the longest period is while the potato cooks.
- (Potato can be cooked ahead of time, wrapped & stored in refrigerator until used- up to 5 days).

POTATO CANDY
My children love this old-fashioned potato candy. It's so easy to make and I always have the ingredients on hand. Nutella would also work as a filling in place of peanut butter. -Bonnie Presley, Lovely, Kentucky

- Place potato in a smal pot, cover with water, and boil until very tender. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Mash (or use a hand mixer) until smooth and lump-free.
- Add 4 cups powdered sugar and mix until blended (will be a sticky mess and this point). If opting to use vanilla, mix in now. Mix in more powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until mixture is very thick (slightly thicker than cookie dough).
- Lay down a large sheet of wax paper and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Transfer candy mixture to the wax paper and sprinkle the top with more powdered sugar. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
- Spread peanut butter evenly over candy. Roll tightly (long side toward long side), then wrap in the wax paper. Cut in half crosswise and put the two halves inside a large resealable bag. Seal the bag and chill for at least 30 minutes until firm, or until about 30 minutes before ready to serve.
