Grandma B's Potato Candy
Ingredients
1-2 large potatoes
1-2 boxes powdered sugar
1 Tsp vanilla
or flavoring of choice
Directions
Peel,quarter and boil the taters* as if for mashing.
Drain the taters and let them cool down.
Mash those taters and then add the vanilla and begin mixing in the powdered sugar until you get a firm "dough".
Potato candy can be formed into any shape you want,dipped in melted chocolate,covered with sugar sprinkles,color added,etc.
Grandma B used to tint some green,spread it over a brown sugar cone,turn it upside down and "decorate" it as a Christmas tree.
* Sorry,a bit of humor here. My Grandma was from the South and I can just hear a "Suth'ner" saying taters.
