Easy Potato Candy

  • Author: Ava Garrison
  • Prep Time: 25 minutes
  • Chill Time: 1 hour
  • Total Time: 1 hour 25 minutes
  • Yield: About 24 slices

Description

A nostalgic no-bake treat made with mashed potato, powdered sugar, and creamy peanut butter. Surprisingly sweet and soft, this old-fashioned candy is easy to make and a perfect addition to any dessert tray.

Ingredients

  • 1 medium russet potato, peeled and cubed
  • 4 to 5 cups powdered sugar (sifted)
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Peel and cube the potato, then boil until fork-tender (about 10–12 minutes). Drain and mash until completely smooth.
  2. Measure 1/2 cup of mashed potato into a mixing bowl. While still warm, gradually mix in powdered sugar, one cup at a time, until a dough forms.
  3. Stir in vanilla extract and a pinch of salt for added flavor.
  4. Lay out wax or parchment paper, dust lightly with powdered sugar, and roll the dough into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle.
  5. Spread an even layer of peanut butter across the dough, leaving a border around the edges.
  6. Carefully roll the dough into a log, peeling away the paper as you go.
  7. Wrap the log tightly in the wax paper and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  8. Once firm, slice into 1/2-inch pieces and serve.
