Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 small Russet potato (peeled and diced)
6-8 cups powdered sugar
2/3 cups peanut butter

Steps:

  • In a small pot of boiling water, cook the potato until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl; mash until smooth and lump-free. Let cool completely.
  • With an electric mixer on low speed, beat together the potato and powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until mixture is thick and the pearly dough forms.
  • Transfer the dough onto a large sheet of parchment paper sprinkled with powdered sugar; dust more powdered sugar on top. Using a rolling pin, roll the dough into a large rectangular shape, approximately 1/4-inch thick; trim to form straight edges.
  • Spread peanut butter over dough (see recipe notes). Starting at one long side, tightly roll up candy, jelly-roll style, using parchment paper as a guide. Wrap in parchment paper or plastic wrap, and freeze or refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.
  • Unwrap and cut candy into 1/4-inch thick pieces. Enjoy! (See the post for storing the leftover candy)
