in quebec we have a traditional potato candy made with actual potatoes and powdered sugar aaaannd my favorite potato maple syrup donuts its to die for 😍😜
Potato candy, made from real potato, is such a underappreciated treat. I used to make them with my great grand mother. She would dip them in melted chocolate. She was Welch who lived in Massachusetts for a long time before moving.
in high school I sat next to a girl who occasionally brought in potato candy, potato cookies and chocolate zucchini bread, and as the person next to her I always got offered some. All of those snacks were top tier and I miss getting to hijack some of her snacks deeply.
I’m from Philly, and we made these every year. However, the recipe was very different; no cream cheese or butter. Ours was coconut, powdered sugar, and sweetened condensed milk, and then rolled in a powdered sugar & cinnamon mixture. It was THE candy to make for Saint Patrick’s Day.
The mixer almost dropping is just as funny as when you forget to plug in the units. No shade to you at all Emmy! I see a montage video of all the plug and appliances fails being an idea for a video short eventually. I love how you have managed to change my relationship with food to be more positive.
We used to make Irish Potatoes every year in elementary school, so yeah, something fun to do with the kids.😊 I’m in South Jersey, right outside of Philadelphia, and they’re a staple. They start showing up in stores around the end of January.
In Scotland we have “macaroon bars” which are mashed potato and icing sugar (somethings flavoured with other oils but usually just vanilla) then enrobed in dark chocolate and covered in toasted coconut.
Yes this! We also have Lucky Tatties! Although if you're flavouring your macaroon bars with flavourings you're all fancy, I remember having them just as is. :D
We have always made -potatoes candy with a baked potato, a ton of confectionery sugar roll it out and put peanut butter and roll it jello roll style. I just gained20 pounds thinking about it.
Thanks Emmy! We used to eat these in Pennsylvania growing up, you could find them in old fashioned candy stores or homemade. Definitely an Irish American thing! SUPERRRRR SWEET!
The gasp I gusped! I adore these but no one ever knows about them! We made them every year in school (Philly burbs!) 🥰 Brings back all those memories of building leprechaun traps with shoeboxes 😂
I once made rum balls in the shape of potatoes as a family joke at Christmas because my parents would give us potatoes instead of Cole, which is my mom’s families custom from France. They are so easy and they do look so much like real potatoes.
As someone who grew up in New Jersey, I had NO idea these were only regional!! They were so popular in st Patrick's season, I remember getting them from teachers during school :) lots of people looked forward to these during the year
We've something very similar in Scotland called Lucky Tatties. (Tattie being Scots for potato.) They're also fondant filling and a cinnamon coating, formed to look like small potatoes. They weren't specific to any time of year though, just one of many penny sweets you could buy. We've also got Scottish macaroon bars, which are made with sugar+potato covered in chocolate and coconut.
This is the most Irish-American thing ever! Us Irish were definitely too poor to afford all those ingredients back at that time - recovering from the Famine and struggling with British occupation! Have you ever tried Boxty, or potato cakes? They're yummy, I make them with left over mash and mix in cheese cubes when I fry them!
I make potato fudge sometimes. Made with potato. Original with coconut and vanilla flavour with unsweetened chocolate. I leave out the coconut and add peppermint to make a peppermint patty. I’m from Nova Scotia, Canada.
Honestly native is sooo nice! I get mine from Target so plastic packaging but I also use two. The sensitive skin ones are sooooo soft! And I use the grapefruit with the baking soda for sweaty workout days and it always smells great :)
We have those in Quebec Canada as well! My grandmother made them all the time. It’s a popular vintage treat with many French Canadians! The peanut butter ones!👌🥰
You should try Russian "Sladkaya kartoshka", another potato shaped candy! There is two versions of them, one simple version made of butter cookies and sweetened condensed milk, and the more classic version made of sponge cake and plombir creme. Both are delicious and quite easy to make
Emmy you make laugh and brighten my day. I too am a bit of a disaster magnet, especially in the kitchen. It’s nice to know I am in such good company 😊. As I like coconut, dark chocolate and peppermint, I think I have just hit the jackpot with these recipes lol. Can’t wait to try them. They sound scrumptious, thank you for posting them 😊
Wasn't expecting the mixer to tumble over! My heart jumped! You gotta love Emmy! I'm so glad she leaves everything in the videos. Makes her more human. 😊
Its funny to see another version! French Canadian (Québec) have a potato candy (bonbon aux patates) we made a dough with sugar and potato, spead peanut butter, roll it and cut it. We eat potato donut too. :)
I’m Irish and from mass ( my godparents are French Canadian) and this is how we always made it. Mashed potato and confectioners sugar mixed for the dough. Rolled out, spread into a thin sheet, with peanut butter and and rolled up. Cut into slices. Such a great treat!!
I am from Philly area and I remember making Irish potatoes in kindergarten at school and also with my grandma a few times. We always made them pretty small and like a round potato more than a long one. I realized at some point that people not from my area had no idea what I was talking about when I would reference "Irish potatoes". You know and don't forget to use Philly cream cheese, the superior cream cheese....
Can confirm having grown up in the outer edges of the Philly region in central NJ. Also nobody knew what the hell I was talking about when describing this seasonal delicacy around St Patrick’s day 😂
I thought this was going to be about the potato candy my grandmother used to make using potatoes, peanut butter and powdered sugar. I always found it painfully sweet and so never really cared for it. I believe I have heard of these ones you made but I've never had it.
Emmy!! I was wondering if you’ve ever tried english clotted cream? Usually takes 24 hours to make, but I saw a microwave version that only take 15 minutes 👀 was hoping you could check it out! 💜
I really hope she doesn’t try the stuff sold in jars…it’s ‘old’ and vile! My Dad was Cornish and we all love clotted cream..Rodda’s clotted cream to be precise! I’ve never made it at home and would love to have your recipe! Thanks…from northern Portugal! We retired here! ;)
The microwave version isn’t proper clotted cream. This is the best video I’ve found for a homemade clotted cream: https:/m.youtube.comwatchv=FrIER4PTixg&pp=ygUTQ2xvdHRlZCBjcmVhbSBhc2h0YQ%3D%3D
We have this in our country too, but they are made from leftover cake cuttings, not to waste any cake. They add some nuts and jellies inside and sell for quite cheap, pretty good
I went to grad school in philadelphia, and they had something very similar but made with cream cheese! I think they were called oh ryan's irish potatoes
We had a potato candy in Hungary during the Soviet Union era. It was bad, but regarding what one could get in the communism, it was fine. Its called the Melba cube. If I remember correctly you had it once
If you find it seems like you can't wash oils off your hands no matter how much soap you use, wash with something textured like a washcloth or a scotchbrite pad. Works a treat!
If you like that level of mintyness, you could try making some Kendal Mint Cake, which is basically mostly just sugar, with a nostril-burning level of peppermint oil, traditionally eaten by people who like hiking and need that boost of energy from the large amount of sugar in it... :)
We have these in Poland, but we make them with just marzipan and cocoa+cinnamon dust :) It's delicious and marzipan isn't as sickly sweet as most modern sweets.
If your hands are dry than working the candy dough that has cream cheese and oil will help moisturize them. As for washing the the residue off your hands use a full fat such as ivory or a homemade olive oil soap the fats in the soap join with the oils/fats in the candy dough and the later from the soap will wash everything away. Additionally use warm to hot water (above 105 F) because it will help with the removal of the soil upon your hands or body
it's very much a thing in post-Soviet countries, a mini-cake we call Kartoshka which is quite literally potato in English : ) although in terms of contents and flavour it's much more similar to a rum ball. love it!
In Idaho there is a candy bar called an Idaho Spud. It is a coconut candy covered in chocolate. I am not a fan of them myself, but I bet if you went online and gooled Idaho Spud candy bar, you could probably buy some and see if they are similar to the candy you made.
Emmy, have you ever made the Swedish children’s classic sweet called “chocolate balls”? It’s just butter (or margarine), sugar, oatmeal and cocoa powder, along with a splash of cold coffee (very important that it’s cold, or the butter will melt). Mix and shape into little balls. Some roll them in nib sugar, some in dried coconut, some in sprinkles.
Did you know there's a Scottish real potato version too? (Shameless plug, I did my own video of them) They were delightful so I will definitely try these as well. Thanks for the recipe!
My maternal grandmother used to make it similar to your second recipe. I haven't had it in more than 55 years, but it was an important part of my early childhood memories.
I'm from ireland and ive never seen or heard of anything like this. Interesting how cuisine changes as groups of people migrate. A thoroughly irish-american food!
Those look like fun recipes. Think that I would try the one with potatoes. I would probably pair it with my favorite coffee this time of year which is hot or iced with equal parts cream, chocolate syrup, and peppermint syrup (usually 3 pumps each for a 12 ounce cup, 4 each for 16 ounce, or 5 each for a 20 oz).
I’m from Southern New Jersey and these are a staple at this time of year but the ones you made are super sized. Usually they are bite sized not actual potato sized. Lol.
My paternal Grandmother made "potato candy", aka "Martha Wahington candy", with potatoes, powdered sugar, and spread with peanut butter and rolled up then sliced. My Granma was from Kentucky Appalachia originally but may have picked up the recipe while living in Southwestern Ohio.
I have heard of this version of potato candy before, but have not had as of yet. Grow up with the potato candy made with a small boil potato, a butt load of confectionary sugar, butter and peanut butter. That is then rolled into bit size pinwheels and typically made during Christmas or at least in my family. Watched your videos you posted a few years ago of you making both the cream cheese and the potato version. Both are super sweet, but this peppermint one sounds awesome and might make maybe one batch using green creme de menthe. I have made a chocolate version of the potato version of potato candy and definitely cuts down the amount of sugar you need to use. I made them into peanut butter filled balls, some i use made into balls and rolled them into crush nuts or grated coconut. 🤔 ...although I guess technically I have made the cream cheese version of potato candy when made some chocolate chip Bailey balls rolled in Grapenuts cereal for my senior thesis art show opening back in college. Had some Bailey's cream cheese frosting left over from my birthday cake. Was able to use up the oatmeal, wheat germ and Grapenuts cereal I had. The only thing I had to buy was chocolate chips. People must of liked them because they disappeared quickly.

Lithuanian Kugelis
Chocolate covered peanut butter eggs, filling made with potatoes are my favorite! DELICIOUS!!!!😋😋😋🐣🌸🐰
Moravian Sugar Cake- one the best (PA Dutch) things! Made with a potato dough.

Do you mean Welsh? I'm currently living in Wales!
If you mean she was Welsh, I don’t think that has anything to do with it because they’re definitely not a Welsh thing.
@@alicerose512 so good, lucky you
I CAME FROM MASSACHUSETTS LOOKS YUM
Emmy fighting with the hand mixer is the chaotic energy we all have when late night baking 😂
Her mixer seemed haunted.😆
Why is it always late night too? Lol 😂 I do the same thing! I like baking but I put it off until my late night 2nd wind. Lol 😂
Emmy have you written a book yet? I’d 100% buy it. I’d love some of these strange and wonderful recipes to read through and try out.
I’m from Philly, and we made these every year. However, the recipe was very different; no cream cheese or butter. Ours was coconut, powdered sugar, and sweetened condensed milk, and then rolled in a powdered sugar & cinnamon mixture. It was THE candy to make for Saint Patrick’s Day.
I thought you weren't going to make us cry anymore? Laughter through tears.😅😢
Emmy saying “yo I’m done with you” to the mixer was so funny
I loved the kitchen chaos in this video. I am well versed in this phenomenon.
Just wanna say I've been coming back to your channel for around 10 years, fist vid I've seen was emmamde easts Poland.
Good job. Keep it up !!!!!!
The mixer almost dropping is just as funny as when you forget to plug in the units. No shade to you at all Emmy! I see a montage video of all the plug and appliances fails being an idea for a video short eventually.
I love how you have managed to change my relationship with food to be more positive.
I have that mixer. Since the lowest speed is too fast, sometimes I use only 1 beater. Doesn't make a big mess. Try it!!
Adding the eyes to candy potato is so cute.🥔😊
Emmmmyyyy 😩❤️ the “microwuave” moment was so iconicccc! I just adore you.
If you take a knife and put little lime indents in them they look super potatoey too ! Great job!
It’s the fact that Emmy is still finding these old fashioned foods to share with & educate us!
We used to make Irish Potatoes every year in elementary school, so yeah, something fun to do with the kids.😊 I’m in South Jersey, right outside of Philadelphia, and they’re a staple. They start showing up in stores around the end of January.
How many of us can agree....no matter what Emmy does for a video, we will love it!
In Scotland we have “macaroon bars” which are mashed potato and icing sugar (somethings flavoured with other oils but usually just vanilla) then enrobed in dark chocolate and covered in toasted coconut.
We always used peppermint, never vanilla. ;o)

OMG! Those 1st potato candies are the cutest thing ever!!
In Maine we have candies called "needhams" made with potato. They taste like coconut mounds!
I literally love anything made with potato! But Candy? Didn’t know this was possible!!
Thanks Emmy! We used to eat these in Pennsylvania growing up, you could find them in old fashioned candy stores or homemade. Definitely an Irish American thing! SUPERRRRR SWEET!
Love the sneaky edit of the word ‘odour’ into the ad! 😂
The gasp I gusped! I adore these but no one ever knows about them! We made them every year in school (Philly burbs!) 🥰 Brings back all those memories of building leprechaun traps with shoeboxes 😂
I love that you said "Microwave" like that I love you for that I keep saying and refferencing that myself x3

Sweet 😊
I like that you didn't edit the vanilla & mixer accident out
That makes it real and exactly what happens 😊
"yo im done with you, thank you for your service"😭😭
Oh, what do you mean?
I meant it nicely 🤔
i know you did i was referring to what emmy said to the mixer😆😁

Has anyone read the Guernsey Potato Peel Pie Society? Great book, but also has a recipe using potato peels for a sort of mock apple pie 😊
omg as an irish person who loves both potatoes and sweets i need to make these once lent is over LOL

See's potato candy is the one I grew up eating. Divinity covered in chocolate, and of course dusted with cocoa powder and cinnamon.
In Denmark the bakeries have a potato cake - no potato, but a cake with cream and a chocolate dusted marzipan covering
Used to eat the ones from See’s Candy
I thought this was going to be about the potato candy my grandmother used to make using potatoes, peanut butter and powdered sugar. I always found it painfully sweet and so never really cared for it. I believe I have heard of these ones you made but I've never had it.
Love the peppermint recipe. I would crush some hard peppermint candy and sprinkle in top to add a visual cue as to the candy flavor.

I’ve got to try this peppermint candy recipe! I love York mint patties
I too am now obsessed with that pronunciation of "microwave"
We have this in our country too, but they are made from leftover cake cuttings, not to waste any cake. They add some nuts and jellies inside and sell for quite cheap, pretty good
I make Needham's candy for the holidays and it does actually contain potatoes. It's very good, kind of like a mounds bar.
I went to grad school in philadelphia, and they had something very similar but made with cream cheese! I think they were called oh ryan's irish potatoes
No one is changing their mind Emmy. We love it here. One of my fave subscriptions. 🥰🥰🤗🤗

those little potatos look like the kind of candy that is so rich you can only eat half of one
The potatoes in my German grocery store were made of marzipan as were all the other produce an meats.
We have these in Poland, but we make them with just marzipan and cocoa+cinnamon dust :) It's delicious and marzipan isn't as sickly sweet as most modern sweets.
Just last week a co-worker brought in marzipan potato candies to share and they were delicious. Most of the others didn't know what to make of it.

Nice save catching that mixer from hitting the floor. Quick reflexes!
See’s Candies sells this also. And I like this holiday treat.

I was looking for this comment. Thanks!!
In Scotland there were sweets called Lucky Tatties. They had a solid hard white core, covered in cocoa and cinnamon. They were not very sweet.
TMI okaayy… I love you!!! I wanna be like you when I grow up
the chaos, i relate to this so much
Lovely video Emmy!! I remember the potato 🥔 ice cream 🍦 video with the nuts!! toppings! yummy 😋
I found you from a video from 5 years ago and I just have to say you look amazing. You have not aged a day 🙊

Here in Maine we have a potato treat that you can find at pretty much any convenience store. They are called Needhams
I think if you added 7 and a half cups of sugar to almost any vegetable it would create a decently tasting candy 😂
In maien these are called needhams but they’re covered in chocolate
Did you know there's a Scottish real potato version too? (Shameless plug, I did my own video of them) They were delightful so I will definitely try these as well. Thanks for the recipe!

Yup - learned to make candies using oils in a candy making class, never went back to extracts.
I'm from ireland and ive never seen or heard of anything like this. Interesting how cuisine changes as groups of people migrate. A thoroughly irish-american food!
we grew up with potato candies made from mashed potato and a serious amount of icing sugar!
Those look like fun recipes. Think that I would try the one with potatoes. I would probably pair it with my favorite coffee this time of year which is hot or iced with equal parts cream, chocolate syrup, and peppermint syrup (usually 3 pumps each for a 12 ounce cup, 4 each for 16 ounce, or 5 each for a 20 oz).
Yes they came out great
Couldn't help but notice the added "oder" shooting the sponsorship 😂Gotcha! Haha love your videos!
Emmy! Make Spudnuts! They are the best potato flour donuts out there! The dough isn't super sweet like the icing and it is a well balanced donut!
I haven't had a Spudnut in years!
Aaawwww :( And here I was thinking you were making the potato candies that B. Dylan Hollis made. You should check it out. :D
I made those 4 years ago: ua-cam.com/video/z2Ik9PA4tOI/v-deo.html.
would love to see you make an actual irish treat, fifteens. Love from ireland
I still have cream cheese frosting stuck under my nails from two days ago
I honestly do think I learn something in just about every episode.
Yay!!!!🤓
I’m from Southern New Jersey and these are a staple at this time of year but the ones you made are super sized. Usually they are bite sized not actual potato sized. Lol.
Always happy when you make gluten free things! I can't wait to make both of these for our next potluck! Thank you Emmy!
There another, potato candy. Mounds and almond joy. Potato and coconut. Very good.
I wonder if it will work if I use leftover mashed potatoes in the first recipe instead of coconut (allergic). Think I might try that.
Might have to try these. Love peppermint patties!
