IRISH POTATO CANDY



Irish Potato Candy image

These do contain potato, but they don't contain coconut! I made this for Saint Patrick's Day with my class years ago when I was in third grade. Later, right before I graduated from high school, I tracked down my former teacher and got her to give me this recipe. It's easy and fun for kids, and making them was such a wonderful memory for me.

Categories     Candy

Time 30m

Yield 36 candies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 lb sifted confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Combine mashed potatoes and vanilla.
  • Adding one cup at a time, blend in enough confectioners' sugar to form stiff, non-sticky dough. (Just how much sugar is needed will depend on moisture of potatoes. 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 to dry slightly before coating.
  • Toss candies a few at a time, in a plastic bag with ground cinnamon.
  • Shake off excess cinnamon.
  • Store candies in cool place or refrigerate.
