COCONUT-FREE IRISH POTATOES CANDY
I was frantically searching for a non-coconut recipe for Irish Potatoes for St. Patrick's day. I recently became allergic to coconut, so I made this recipe up after not being able to find an alternative online or in any cookbooks I have at home. I think the almonds are a nice twist and help maintain the consistency of the ball instead of just omitting coconut from other recipes I've seen. This is a good no-bake recipe. It is simple to make and easy to eat.

Steps:
- Place almonds in the bowl of a food processor; process until finely ground. Pour cinnamon into a rimmed plate.
- Mix cream cheese, butter, and vanilla extract in a large bowl until evenly blended. Place the bowl into a large pan filled with ice to help mixture stiffen; make sure butter mixture does not spill out of the bowl.
- Sift confectioners' sugar into the butter mixture. Add ground almonds and stir until combined. Let mixture rest on ice for 5 minutes.
- Roll mixture into 1/2-inch balls and roll in cinnamon until coated. Refrigerate until set, about 20 minutes.

IRISH POTATOES (CANDY)
These Irish Potatoes are a delicious treat for any time, but especially around St. Patrick's Day. When I grew up in Philadephia,PA., this candy was a regular part of our St. Paddy's Day celebration and can still be found in stores around the wearin' o' the green. They are a coconut fondant, made from mashed potatoes, rolled in cinnamon. The finished product resembles little potatoes. Enjoy! Take note: The recipe calls for mashed potatoes. These are fully seasoned. You can use left overs from your dinner, make them fresh, buy them already made or use instant.

Steps:
- Mix all ingredients together well (I use a stand mixer now, but used to mix them by hand). Shape into about 3/4-inch diameter balls, and roll in ground cinnamon, shaking off excess. Store in a sealed container, like a cookie tin or a Rubber Maid container.
