I have a couple of easy recipes I use each year. I like Pennsylvania Dutch Potato Candy. It is quick and easy. 2lbs confectioners sugar 1 c mashed potatoes (may use more to stiffen enough to roll) peanut butter Mix c. sugar and mashed potatoes together until stiff enough to form a ball. (At first it will bee more like liquid as you add sugar to potatoes.) Once formed in a ball, wrap in plastic and refridgerate for a few hours until firm. Roll out in rectangle (like jelly roll). Spread with peanut butter. Roll like a jelly roll and wrap in plastic, refridgerate about 1 hour slice in 1/2" thick pieces. Place in air tight container layer with wax paper. Enjoy!
