Powdered Sugar: 3 cups

Vanilla Extract: 1 teaspoon

Salt: Pinch

Creamy Peanut Butter: 1/2 cup (or other nut butter)

Instructions

1. First, ensure your potato is completely cooled and mashed smoothly, with no lumps.

2. Next, in a large bowl, combine the mashed potato, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and salt.

3. Mix thoroughly with a spoon, then use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, pliable dough.

4. This step is crucial for the perfect Old Fashioned Potato Candy Recipe consistency.

5. Now, dust your countertop lightly with powdered sugar.

6. Roll the potato candy dough into a thin rectangle, about 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.

7. Aim for roughly 8×12 inches.

8. Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over the entire surface of the potato candy dough.

9. Carefully, starting from one of the longer sides, roll the dough tightly into a log.

10. Finally, wrap your potato candy log tightly in plastic wrap and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours.

11. This chilling helps set the Old Fashioned Potato Candy Recipe perfectly.

12. Once firm, slice the potato candy log into 1/2-inch thick rounds and serve your delicious homemade Old Fashioned Potato Candy Recipe.
