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.

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.

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 Жыл бұрын
You are right, you definitely need extra. They are so good!
@loriki8766 Жыл бұрын
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?

Sorry but you are definitely doing this wrong and making the job harder. My family has made potato candy for over 60 years and the way you're making it is so wrong. Study some of the hillbilly vids because they are spot on. Take notes from them and you'll see.
