post it hurry up cannot wait any longer girl!! Rita

hi all, well from the bottom of my hart here it is:

take 1 potato ,boil it,mash it(no butter,nothing).

put it in a bowl big enough to old just about a whole pack of powdered sugar.

start slowly puting half a pack of powdered sugar in with the tato,mix till it makes like a dough(better to use your hands) add powdered sugar till dough holds.

roll dough like you would for a pie.(i personally roll it on waxed paper)

take smooth peanut butter and spread a thick layer on dough.roll and put in waxed paper to put in fridge at least 30-40 minutes.

take out of fridge and slice it.

eat and listen closely,you can almost hear your arteries harden.

if you have trouble at first i can make some and send it to you,so you know what it s suppose to taste like.

good luck to all chef!

btw: hi mike, where does your sister in law come from,i m happy someone knows about it and suprise at the same time.was that a familly recepe for her also,tell her i say hi to the tato candy lady.

No One Can Make You Feel Inferior Without Your Consent.

hi Mary,

it s a 1kg. pack

1kg=2.2pounds.

but as i made mistake the first time i made it ,a long time ago, i found out that there was 2 ways you could correct the mistake of puting too much sugar...

1..if too much just put 1 tsp.water in it ,

2...you can always boil 1 more tato ,smash it and add it.

those ways will make you more rolls but you can freeze it so it s o k.

good luck!

that's really cool. Thanks for the tip! I'm gonna try it. And for me, it's a real leap of faith to try cooking anything - even a boiled potato LOL!

Sorry, it was not intentional, the word is : successFULLY

I tried it and it was runny. I added more sugar and some flour and finally got it to thicken up a littlem but it was good.

I miss spelled it, I meant to say 'it thickened it up a little'. I will try it again.

What if you microwave a potato instead of boil it? I have to look to see if you peel the tater before you boil it. Sounds strange to me. How much candy does this make? I love peanut butter. Maybe I would just make half a batch since 2 lb. of powdered sugar seems like it would make a lot.
Have you ever tried freezing it? Probably not, if it is really yummy, since it would be all gone before you got it frozen.
