MACAROON BARS (LEES VERSION)

Steps:

• Boil potato until soft; drain and mash well. I know it seem a very small amount but it is all you need (promise). Cool this slightly.
• Gradually start to add and mix the icing sugar until it becomes very stiff and hard to mix any more. (You may need less or more than in ingredient list; it depends on the potato).
• It is ready when you can roll a ball of it in your hands and it is only slightly sticky.
• Have a grease proof or silicone sheet on your work surface (or dust with icing sugar).
• Cover your hand with icing sugar to prevent sticking.
• Take enough of the mixture to make a thin sausage about 2 or 3" in length.
• Place onto the paper. These may not always look staight; it does not matter.
• Continue until all the mixture has gone.
• Your first ones should now be set (be able to pick up, quite stiff).
• Next step is to have a bowl of the melted chocolate and a bowl of coconut ready (side by side is easiest for the dipping).
• Now take each piece and dip into chocolate and then roll in the coconut and place back onto the sheet to dry.
• Enjoy.
• Noone ever believes that this sweet is made with potato and tastes like heaven.
• I have used chopped nuts to cover, as a change from coconut, and this worked well.
