Thank you for the recipe, my mother made the every year for thanksgiving and christmas. I am going to make it this year, It has been 5 years that my mother passed away. All the family will love it.

Love love love this recipe always been one of my favorites......... I am going to try the food coloring idea for a festive feel......... The kids really love helping with this candy - great for them to help.

My mom used to make this when we were little. She has now passed away but she taught me how to make it years ago. I now have to make every christmas for my aunt esther as my mom used to make it for her (as she was my mom's little sister) esther says no one makes it like but me. Love you aunt esther.

This is the best recipe I have found. I have made two batches so far this year. Other recipes did NOT explain the fact that it is SUPPOSED to liquify. I had always panicked at that point. My mother used to make this as part of the Christmas goodies at our home. This will now become part of my own tradition, as I make candies/cookies for friends and neighbors.

I grew up with potato candy as well as all my relatives. My grandmother did to, but never knew where it came from. Since bother her parents were full blood Irish, we always assumed it was an Irish candy. So checking the internet and this is my proof. I just made a batch for a party tomorrow. This sounds like old home week to me.

My Dad LOVED this candy. I will make it in his honor...always

My Dad made this every winter when I was a kid in the 50's, and I have searched for this candy recipe. Thank you so much ...what wonderful memories...

This recipe is one Jean Campbell shared with me. I lost it in a move from Lex. Ky. to W.H. Ct. I've done so many different candies based on this recipe. I've dipped in chocolate, spread with P.B. or preserves My favorite i think is taking a can of cherry pie filling and picking out the cherries to dip in chocolate bark then using the filling to flavor the candy (i do make this in extra lg quanties)before dipping into chocolate bark, i've also flavored the candy with other flavorings, cocoanut, rice krispy type cereal (before candy stiffens), maple syrup too. Jeans favotite way to serve it was either rolled pinwheel style or sandwiched as a andies candy P.B or chocolate in the middle. Holidays are not the same without the Campbells and Jeans potato candy. I'm glad i found the recipe again.

My sister is Gluten and Dairy free, and I've been searching for a dessert I can make for her birthday that doesn't require driving to the far ends of the earth for ingredients and 40 tries to get it right. A friend of mine made this last St. Patty's day, and I thought they were phenomenal. This recipe will be PERFECT for her birthday. Thank you!

My family doesn't get it, LOL, but I loved it as a kid. Also, you can kick it up a notch by dipping these slices in chocolate!! YUMMMMY

try adding cocoa to the potato mixture!

We used to have this every year. Some of the tricks I learned over the years is if you use a marble cutting board to roll it out on (and marble rolling pin) you can chill the board and roller prior to doing it and you wont have to add as much sugar during the rolling process. Also using candy coloring instead of food coloring (usually is a paste) will require adding so much extra sugar. You can also get a marbled look using the paste (I used leaf cookie cutters one year and made sandwiches with it instead of a roll and arranged them on a plate for presents).

It is so nice to see this recipe. My grandmother made this for us when we were kids. I remembered how to make it when my son was young. It's delicious and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing.

Mom made us potato candy every Christmas, now I have to carry on the tradition.

My great grammie was Irish and this recipe was passed down to her kids.. & when my mum died she didn't tell me the recipe.. It's so great I found it, tastes just like hers. Thank you so very very much.
