  • 1 small potato
    1 pound confectioner's sugar
    2 tablespoons butter, soften
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    peanut butter
    Peel and slice the potato. In a small saucepot, cover the potato slices with water and cook over medium heat until soft. Drain potato well and place in large mixing bowl.
    Beat until mashed with butter, and vanilla extract.
    Add half of the confectioner's sugar and mix well. Mix in the remaining sugar, scraping down sides as needed.
    Line a countertop with a sheet of waxed paper dusted with confectioner's sugar.
    Scrape out dough onto waxed paper and dust top with more confectioner's sugar. Roll out to a thickness of about 1/4 of an inch.
    Spread dough with peanut butter and roll up like you are making cinnamon rolls.
    Once you have rolled it up into a log, roll the log up in your plastic wrap chill in the fridge until ready to serve ,usually about 2 hours.
    When ready to serve, remove plastic wrap and slice it into 1/4 inch slices.
    Store leftovers in the refrigerator.
    Please note: potatoes are different sizes. If you end up with more potato, you're gonna need more confectioner's sugar. We're gonna have to use our noodles on this one and be ready to add more confectioner's sugar if need be. You'll just end up with more candy. Work it in there until it becomes a dough. You might have to add a lot more sugar because you might end up with a lot more potato. You can do this. I have faith in you!

    My Mom would make this recipe at Easter time.. without the PB roll into small "egg" shapes, let it sit on a cooling rack, to dry it out , somewhat.. then dip into melted choclate with 2 forks. back onto the cooling racks to harden.. Decorated them with basic butter cream icing.. She would try PB mixed w/ 4X sugar but never got a consistantcy she liked to roll PB then cpver w. the sheet of potatoe mixture..then dip.. Us kids enjyed the ""mistakes""!! Also within our family was called Irish Potatoe Candy... being we were Irish..was a ::poor man's"" candy treat It is interesting how good this DOES tatse!! Again, Sara brigs memories flooding back with this recipe!!

    If you were to roll the Potato candy between 2 sheets of wax paper there will be no sticking and roll better. After you have rolled out remove the top sheet of wax paper spread the peanut butter, then lift the edge of the bottom sheet and pull over the top and the candy will roll perfectly off the sheet.

    • @margaretthomas8318
      @margaretthomas8318 Рік тому

      I wouldn't use flour because it will affect the taste. I would use powdered sugar. Mine are easier to roll up with the peanut butter because my house is probably cooler and my mix is less sticky. And I normally only use about 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes because it still takes a lot of powered sugar. It's pretty amazing how the potatoes just melt that sugar for quite a bit. I was just thinking about making some and adding cocoa so we could have some chocolate ones with peanut butter. I like to experiment.

The same thing goes for your kitchen that you are working out of, a dirty kitchen would be a turnoff for many people as well! When I turned this channel on to watch, guess what jumped into my face first thing? A soiled dress! 🥴 This is NOT ment to be a mean comment, but looking at Sarah wearing a not so clean outfit as she is baking is NOT appealing to me and is a visually turn-off, sorry if that offends you but that’s the way it is! If you are at home in your own kitchen cooking or baking and your outfit gets messed up, then yes who cares, but the same doesn’t go for being on UA-cam in a video doing the same thing and looking sloppy!

It seems to easy for people to be critical of strangers while hiding behind a phone or computer. The bigger picture is who cares! She is sharing her cooking recipes…. Focus on that, if it’s not appetizing because her dress is dirty then watch it. Why people feel the need to be critical of someone just because they can is beyond me.

Since you are fine with this women looking like she does in her video baking, more power to you! The cooking channels that I am subscribed to and watch on a regular basis, none of the women appearing in front of camera are in soiled outfits because it would be a turnoff and unappealing and they know it! I really don’t think that Sarah cares much about her appearance which is her absolute right, but putting herself out there on social media, she could try just a little bit to look presentable while baking. And since you brought up the so called issue with social media these days, I am of the older generation and believe in telling the truths which by the way goes a long way. You can whitewash it by saying “who cares” if you want to, but by doing so you yourself are not being honest and there are many others who would disagree with you besides myself!!!
