Hi Tammy, Boy does this bring back a lot of 0ld memories. I am 71 when I was around 11 this was the first thing I ever made, back then we just used left over mashed potatoes. I used my hands to mix it together. Sure made a big mess but got it all together and everyone loved it. I really loved cooking back then (still do) We lived out in the country and there was a field of cotton right off our back yard and my mama was picking cotton out back. I used to get to cook while she picking cotton in that patch. One morning she told me to mix up a cake mix and she said be sure and bake it in the bottom shelf. Will I did just that ... I baked it in the bottom shelf which turned out to be the Broiler. The gas stoves back then had a drawer on the bottom which was where the broiler was located. My mom said she could smell that cake all the way out in the cotton patch. She talked and laughed about that cake until the day she went to heaven. I sure do miss my Mama.
I lost my grandmothers at an early age and didn’t get to experience cooking with them but I heard about them always cooking. It’s nice to see how they would have done things. Thanks so much for sharing. A blessing for sure. ❤️
HI Tammy, Im originally from THE ICE BOX OF THE NATION, INTERNATIONAL FALLS MINNESOTA, but we lived inTennessee for 15 years, now we’re back living in northern Minnesota. I miss hearing the southern drawl I love listening and watching your show, along with your wonderful cooking. Your a great teacher and have a sweet loving personality. I’ve always been curious about the southern potato candy I’m gonna go ahead and make me a batch.♥️
@@donnawells2294 I can't imagine not having room for one roll of dough. It can easily lay on top of something else or even put in the freezer for just a few minutes.
My mom made this when I had girlfriends stay the night.because she always had the ingredients but it was still very special love and merry Christmas to all
Dear Tammy, thank you for posting this recipe. I was an only child and I didn't eat peanut butter but when I married my husband of course he loved peanut butter and my precious Mother would ways make this candy for him at Christmas. This was as good as a present
My mom used to make this when we were kids. She called it poor man’s candy. She was originally from North Carolina, she learned to make it from her mother. Thanks for putting this recipe out. Good memories. 😊❤️
So excited I found this recipe ❤️ this will bring a little bit of my Grama back for Christmas. It was one of my favorites! It’s amazing how food can bring us back to a much simpler time, and I time I miss so much! Thank you😘❤️
Thank you , My step mom made this every Christmas and I always watched her make it and even showed My daughter which she then loved me to make all the time , , but since she was killed our only Daughter April Ann Ulrich age 19- 5 months after graduating high-school on her way to Church, Then my Dad who also was heart broken & passed Dec 17, 2019 he was a Vietnam veteran - I just can't bring myself to go back to our Farm in McCalla, Alabama, So thank you for her recipe , I can now surprise our Oldest Son Tom & our 2 youngest granddaughters ages 10 & 9 and my daughter n law Jen , As they loved when I made it with our daughter also . Grief takes our thoughts & the daily Pain just doesn't at times let us remember the easiest things . God bless you Mrs Josette Montgomery County, Texas 🙏
Oh yum! My grandmother, mom and aunts use to get into the kitchen and make potato candy and fudge. We never wanted store bought candy. Thank you….brought back beautiful memories.
It looks so good I’ve never heard of that I’m gonna try it is very simple thank you for sharing special recipes That’s being in the family like I’ve said before every recipe of yours that I’ve tried it’s always come out delicious and thank you for always giving us a recipe blessings to you and Chris🎄❤️👍🙏
OMG OMG ………. My Mom made this wonderful candy when I was a child ………. Lordie me……. SOOOOO GOOD !!!!!!!! Thanks Tammy !!!!!!!!!!! Whooooooooo Wheeeeeeee. FYI …… I’m 74 years old
Tammy- We used to take leftover mashed potatoes, powdered sugar, and coconut. Maybe a tablespoon of cream. Make “Easter Eggs” and dipped them in melted white or milk chocolate ganache. Really takes me back!
I was raised on that kind of candy. My grandmother lived with us and she would make that and the best tea cakes and fried apple pies. I miss those days so much!!! U were raised on that same southern cooking. There's nothing like it.
Mrs.Tammy, thank you for sharing this video with us all. My dear sweet mother and grandmother and mother-in-law,made this candy for the grandkids for Christmas 🎄. May God rest their souls 🙏. May God bless y'all 🙏 Pray that y'all remember the reason for the season 🙏. Our heavenly Father 's Birthday. 🙏 May God be with us all. 🙏
Omg i use to love this stuff my mom would make it every Christmas....if i remember right she would make it ahead and freeze it ??? I'm definitely making this ❤❤❤❤
Yum! Every Thanksgiving and Christmas I make these. My mother in-law taught my ex and he taught me. What a wonderful mother in-law she was. I make mine with confectioners sugar, little whole milk, then peanut butter. My family asks me to make these. Old fashioned is usually always better.
I’ve always heard about potato candy now you showed me how to do it I think I’m going to also try it with Nutella that might be a different change of pace might be good thanks Tammy
My family makes this all the time. Sometimes we even coat the slices in melted chocolate. I've taken it to work and friends, and they never know it's made with potatoes.
You guys are so clever , really bring nostalgic and cheery: loving it. Very lonesome after spending a week with Vicky and Gran kids. Too quiet. Love your interruption. One of My sisters used to make his for all our holidays . Mmm makes me hungry I thanks Tammy . I'm willing to bet my kiddos love this
My great grandmother usually came to our house for Christmas because my grandmother lived with us, and she and my grandmother made this every year for Christmas. They never boiled the potatoes either. It was always SO GOOD.
So nice, I used to make this with my mom years ago. We used a fork and smashed it up🤗 so so good and sweet. Thanks for bringing back memories ❤️🙏Christy from Virginia
Hey Tammy, O MY WORD, I am 55 my mother taught me how to make this Potato Candy way back when I was a child. At Christmas time we would also put red or green food coloring in it. Thanks for bringing back a memory.
I have never had this candy before. I will have to make some to give it a try. Our work Christmas party is coming up and our church Christmas party also. Will have to try it out. Thank you for an easy recipe for candy.
My mom made this all the time. Was a holiday favorite cause no one else on either side had ever heard of it. And it DOES slice a little easier if you chill it for about 30 min before slicing. Also, although we all did prefer jiff, she found that Skippy peanut butter would spread a bit easier.
My mama always used the leftover mashed potatoes from the night before. They either became potato candy the next day or potato cakes for the next nights supper. Sure do miss her cooking. 😪
Hey Neighbor! As you know, it's 75 degrees outside. I really don't want to fire up my oven; if I don't have to. So, my question is can I do this candy with boiled potatoes and let them drain well? Thank you for sharing this recipe!!!😘
This is how my grandma, mom, and I make potato candy. We boil with the peel on because that is how my grandma did it. We peeled it then used a potato masher to mash and mix the ingredients with the exception of peanut butter of course.
Tammy thank you for doing latest video, because my mommy had to have potato candy every year and my husband that passed away and he came into the family he ended up just as crazy about as my mommy was. But with all the family matriarchs in my family gone home to be with God, this just brought back some memories for me special one’s so Thank you and God bless.
My mommy made this every Christmas. I make it for my family because it's what mommy taught me and the memories make me feel close to her. ❤ Tammy I'm not getting my notifications from you and I don't understand why. I miss you so I go to your channel and you have been cooking the whole time and I wasn't notified.
Just wanted to thank you for your wonderful channel. Your smiles, your fun personality, and the wonderful recipes you give us are such a blessing! Thank you for really making a quality video every time. Merry Christmas!
This is a really good and tasty but rich candy to make. Very easy and you don’t need to refrigerate it unless you like it firmer. Mom taught us how to make this candy around the holidays. I believe they would call it poor man’s candy. I guess it’s when you only had potatoes and wanted to make candy and couldn’t afford anything that they came up with the recipe, I’m not sure. But it is delicious if you like peanut butter and sweets.
Ditto for me just like the poster before me,I'm the same age. My mother made these when I was a child living in North Alabama. What great memories these bring! Love your graphics and holiday colors! Chris and you do a great job on the presentations. You brightened my day today, thank you so much!!
My word. I have never heard of anyone making this potato candy. My stepmother taught me to make it back in the 50s when i was a yound teen. I make it a little different, but imagine they taste the same. Oh fun.
I just ran across your video today. My husband said he grew up eating this and I’m looking for a recipe. My question is….. what kind of mixer is this? I really like the look of it.
Wow. I have never heard of potato candy before. Whenever we ate pinwheels, it was made from pastry scraps, rolled, painted with butter, sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon. Then baked to make a pastry. Those potato candies would be great after a workout, haha. :). Thank you, Tammy! Love ya in red! :)
My mom would make this for me when I wanted something sweet. She didn’t add the potatoes, though. She used a little milk with the powdered sugar. I watched her make this for me a couple times. I bet it would taste good with potatoes. I miss my mama too, Tammy.
I have been watching 🥔 🍬 Potato Candy recipes for a year and finally made it! Delicious. I have a question for you though, what would hou think about swapping 50% of the powder sugar for whole Milk powder? (Healthier) Maybe😁
An easy way to cut this so you get beautiful slices is taking unflavored dental floss, sliding it up under the log, then pulling up the ends whenever you want to make a cut. A little potato candy guillotine, if you will.

Hey Catherine swish💕. Just wanted to say hello and Merry Christmas from Tennessee 💗⛄️🎄
If you roll it in wax paper, refrigerator for a while and then slice it, it keeps it's shape better. 😊
Most of us do not have that much refrig space . But would be nice.

Had forgotten about this treat. When I saw it the memories came flooding back. I'm making this today. Thanks!!
I’m wondering if you could add cocoa powder or something to make that potato layer chocolatey. Anyone have a guess?
OMG OMG ………. My Mom made this wonderful candy when I was a child ………. Lordie me……. SOOOOO
GOOD !!!!!!!! Thanks Tammy !!!!!!!!!!! Whooooooooo Wheeeeeeee. FYI …… I’m 74 years old
I have loved this candy since I was a little girl. My mama used to make it for us. Now my children and grandchildren love it and make it.
Tammy- We used to take leftover mashed potatoes, powdered sugar, and coconut. Maybe a tablespoon of cream. Make “Easter Eggs” and dipped them in melted white or milk chocolate ganache. Really takes me back!
Hello from Lexington, North Carolina!❤ I don't think I've ever had this but I love peanutbutter. Have a great weekend! Love you ❤️
My mother and her family from Somerset, KY. made this old time favorite at Christmas time.
My mom used to make this. For some reason she called it Martha Washington candy. Thanks for the memory!
I was raised on that kind of candy. My grandmother lived with us and she would make that and the best tea cakes and fried apple pies. I miss those days so much!!! U were raised on that same southern cooking. There's nothing like it.
My daddy loved potato candy and my mother would make it at the holidays. Such a fond memory from childhood for me.

Boy, that video took me back to my mama’s kitchen❣️
My mouth is watering watching this! Yum, yum! I will be making these! Thank you so much.
My cousins and grandma would make this every year on Christmas. It's also good with your favorite Jam in it. We used leftover mashed potatoes.

My family makes this all the time. Sometimes we even coat the slices in melted chocolate. I've taken it to work and friends, and they never know it's made with potatoes.
That’s a really good idea to dunk them in melted chocolate. I just might try that.
My oldest daughter makes this every Christmas it's so sweet can't eat a lot of it.

I have never had this candy before. I will have to make some to give it a try. Our work Christmas party is coming up and our church Christmas party also. Will have to try it out. Thank you for an easy recipe for candy.
I love potato candy! Do you prefer baking the potato in the oven or is ok to bake in the microwave?
Can you use insta nt set up potatoes thick for sure . I may try both ways
Both!
My mom made this all the time. Was a holiday favorite cause no one else on either side had ever heard of it. And it DOES slice a little easier if you chill it for about 30 min before slicing. Also, although we all did prefer jiff, she found that Skippy peanut butter would spread a bit easier.

Yes
This Old-Fashioned Potato Candy recipe looks so delicious Ms. Tammy. This is the very first time that I've heard about it.
Never had that Tammy I will try it thank you.
