My grandma was born in West Virginia and loved old fashion candies. This is one of my grandma's favorites that my mom and I would make for her. Grandma preferred her potato candy with a grape jelly filling. *You may need to use up to 3 lbs of powdered sugar.
Ingredients:
1 large potato, mashed
2 lbs powdered sugar
peanut butter or jelly
Directions:
1. Beat powdered sugar into the mashed potato. Keep adding powdered sugar until mixture is at a dough like consistency and is no longer sticky.
2. Turn the potato dough out and knead for about 5 minutes; add more powdered sugar if necessary.
3. Roll the potato dough out to about 1/4 inch thickness and spread with peanut butter or jelly or both.
4. Roll the dough up like a jelly roll and cut like cookies.
