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. Ingredients:
1/2 cup mashed potatoes |
1/2 teaspoon vanilla |
1 lb sifted confectioners' sugar |
2 tablespoons ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. Combine mashed potatoes and vanilla.
2. 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.)
3. 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.
4. Toss candies a few at a time, in a plastic bag with ground cinnamon.
5. Shake off excess cinnamon.
6. Store candies in cool place or refrigerate.
