Chocolate Potato Candy

Potato Candy was a family tradition of ours, until my dad sent me some while I was in college and it molded on the way and I didn’t know it wasn’t supposed to be green and I haven’t liked it since. I may have to try this recipe, though, from the Food Network.

This recipe was made every year at Christmas, without the chocolate, until my great grandmother passed away. I recently decided to add melted chocolate…just to spice it up a bit!
1 medium potato, peeled
1/2 cup melted semisweet chocolate
4 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup peanut butter

Boil potato until very tender. In small bowl, mash potato with fork or masher. Add 3 1/2 cups of confectioners’ sugar slowly until thick dough like consistency. Spread remaining sugar on flat surface and roll out dough evenly. Spread on peanut butter and chocolate.Roll into log and cut into 1 inch pieces! Yummy!
