This recipe contains no potatoes. It gets it name from the look of the candy. I have not tried this recipe myself. It is for an ISO request. Recipe says you can also dip in melted chocolate for Easter eggs. Ingredients:
1/4 cup softened butter |
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar |
7 ounces sweetened flaked coconut (2 1/2 cups) |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. NOTE: Be sure to use regular cream cheese, not whipped or reduced fat type.
2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and cream cheese.
3. Add vanilla and confectioners' sugar.
4. Beat until mixture forms a ball.
5. Stir in coconut with a spoon.
6. Roll the mixture between your hands to form small potato-shaped candies or roll into small balls.
7. Place cinnamon in a shallow dish and roll the balls in it.
8. Place the balls on a cookie sheet and chill for about 1 hour or until firm.
9. If you prefer dirtier potatoes roll the candy a second time after they have chilled.
10. Alternatively dip in melted chocolate for Easter eggs.
