Preparation
Basic Candy
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake potato for about 40 minutes.
Cool completely and scoop out its flesh.
Alternately, the potato can be boiled and mashed, then left on the burner to dry out.
Gradually mix in icing sugar and vanilla, until dough is workable, adding sugar as needed.
Roll the dough out thin, spread with peanut butter and roll up.
Refrigerate then slice.
Variations
Variation 1: Pinch off a walnut-sized bit of dough (about 2 tsp./10 mL), roll into a ball, flatten slightly and top with a half nut or dried fruits.
Variation 2: Mix chocolate chips, chopped nuts or chopped dried fruit or a combination of these into the dough. Crushed peppermint candies are also good. Mix them into the dough. Shape dough into balls, which can be flattened or not as desired.
Potato candies, whether basic or a variation, can be dipped in melted chocolate.
