| PEANUT BUTTER - IRISH POTATO CANDY | |
|
2 (1 lb. ea.) boxes confectioners' sugar, sifted 1/2 cup hot mashed potatoes, drained 1 small jar crunchy peanut butter Mix sifted sugar into potatoes a little at a time by hand. (Don't panic when potatoes liquefy as the first sugar is added. This is what it's supposed to do. Just keep adding sugar until it is of pastry consistency). Sprinkle wax paper with additional confectioners' sugar. Take baseball-sized ball of mixture and roll out like pastry. Spread with peanut butter and roll like a jelly roll. Wrap rolls in plastic wrap; chill and slice. Makes 2 rolls. | |

My mother made this every Christmas when I was growing up in the 50's. She passed away in January of this year at age 94. It warms my heart when I remember times in the kitchen with her when she made this delicious candy.. Thank you

This is fantastic! In searching for a Needham recipe for my secret pal I came across this recipe. Grammie always made this at Christmas and she's been gone since '85. I am looking forward to introducing the family to this decadent creation from my childhood.

My Gram use to make this candy with a twist. Instead of using crunchy peanutbutter she would use creamy. After cooling and slicing the candy she would dip it in chocolate and roll it in crushed peanuts. SO YUMMY!!

Thanks! I made this last night. It's yummy, but I wish I would have rolled the potato/sugar out thinner. How long will this candy keep in the refrigerator?
