This Candy is Made with Potato and It's So Delicious! (Potato Candy)

[@charmainemontgomery582]

My grandma made this candy when I was growing up! It’s amazing 😊

[@SugarSpunRun]

Sooooo good! :)

[@southernblossom1150]

I had never heard of this until My step mother in WV used to make this . Its really good and not as sweet as it might sound, but can be rich. Went great with my coffee!!! Thank you for sharing this.

My family calls these “Irish Potatoes.” We used to buy them from a local bakery for St. Patrick’s Day. They’d be little potato shapes rolled in cinnamon. It was always a treat I looked forward to each year!

Irish Potatoes and Potato Candy are two completely different candies. People confuse them two all the time, though, as they both have 'potato' in the name. But the name is where the similarities end.

WOW 😯 that’s pretty cool I had never heard of such a thing. And yes you are right almost skipped over video because it said potato candy lol. Glad I chose to watch it instead. Thanks, Sam

We use to shape them like small baked potatoes and dip in cinnamon sugar for St. Patrick’s day! Irish potatoes I what we called them

I've been looking for a recipe like this. My girls use to belong to a 4-H club where they made Easter eggs. The recipe had mashed potato flakes. When I was a young girl my mom made doughnuts with mashed potato and they were so delicious.

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love this one! 😊

[@bobbibowes7886]

My mom also made sort of the same thing . But some she added PB to and some she would add coconut and then dip them in Dark chocolate. Thx for the remind. Looks delicious

[@SugarSpunRun]

😋

[@Jen0714]

WOW! My grandmother made this. I'll finish watching, hoping yours doesn't look too sweet! Thank you for sharing!

[@SugarSpunRun]

You’re welcome! Enjoy! 😊

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

This is one of my favorite recipes!

[@moniqueb9210]

I remember making these in 3rd grade as a fun class project. That was in the early 1970's 😀

[@SugarSpunRun]

That’s a pretty neat class project! 😊

[@helenwhitsitt3789]

Try without pb add peppermint, rolled into ball and flatten, dip in chocolate. Peppermint pattie

[@SugarSpunRun]

Sounds delicious!

[@guppy2129]

My mother use to make this & I remember thinking, "What? Are you kidding me?" Then voila, so good!! I had the recipe out but never got to it. But maybe after seeing this, I'll do them😊 Thanks for all your videos!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you’ll give it a try! 😊

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

Wow, I have NEVER heard of anything like this before! I will definitely have to try it sometime soon!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love it!😊

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@SugarSpunRun It sounds delicious, so I'm sure I will!

[@TimeLapseRich]

I've made these growing up, Nutella or mint jelly were often subs for the peanut butter.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Those sound like great alternatives. I’ll have to try them some time.

[@TobyGobi]

My wife makes this from her grandmother’s recipe. Only it doesn’t have butter in it, just potato, powdered sugar, vanilla, and peanut butter.

[@SugarSpunRun]

There are lots of ways I’ve heard people do it. 😊

[@karenbalkaranali4739]

I've got to try this,looks so delish

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love it! 😍

[@mmakomanyatja5213]

I can't wait to try them Sam they look delicious thank you very much I hope your Christmas was good God bless nd your family

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! 😊

[@hivona]

No love for that stand mixer for a while now!! I only have a hand mixer so I appreciate the hand mixer use haha

[@SugarSpunRun]

🤣😊

[@MelissaGisoni13]

Looks so good! I’m going to try it for sure! ❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

I hope you love it! 😊

[@samiolson9538]

Sam, I had a friend's mom that used cocoa powder in the potato part....never got a chance to ask how she did it(maybe you could try it?)

[@SugarSpunRun]

That sounds good! I’ll have to try it next time I make this. 😊

[@loriki8766]

I've been looking at this recipe for awhile. Haven't made it because it seems like the sugar would overwhelm the peanut butter flavor and you'd only taste sugar. Most of the recipes for this don't have any butter but yours has a whole stick of it. Are you using the butter to cut the sweet?

[@brendabroschard5781]

I'm 70 years old and I remember my grandmother making these when I was growing up. The only problem with making these is as soon as you try one, you will eat another one and another one.....so make extra. I was going to surprise my daughter with a batch of these for Christmas but time got away from me.

[@SugarSpunRun]

You are right, you definitely need extra. They are so good!

[@willparry]

I don't like potato. I have an aversion to mashed potato especially but I thought I'd try watching, I got to 40 seconds before I had to stop. I'm proud of myself today!

[@SugarSpunRun]

Baby steps! 🤣

[@Daughter_of_the_MostHigh]

what is the texture of these

[@debbielynn6291]

A neighbor of my Grams made this in the 60s and 70s. We luved it but is very sweet It was funny that only a small amt of potato actually is used. I made it for my kids. Less sweet.

[@SugarSpunRun]

It’s a classic for sure! 😊

[@kresimirmilisa5560]

Sam happy. holidays.

[@scotto9591]

Isn't that confectioners sugar? (10X)

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yes

[@kenmoreSF]

I bet if you put green food coloring and add some peppermint extract, you could make it into Christmas candy. The options are endless.....

[@SugarSpunRun]

Great idea! 😊😊

[@jadhabbouche6057]

7 cups of sugar!!!!!! Insane!!!!

[@SugarSpunRun]

I know, candy, right!?

[@rosiebess2875]

This recipe is literally a mind F*ck for me hahaha

[@mattallen4030]

So basically, the potato is just a binding agent?? :)
