GRANDMA SHUFELT'S POTATO CANDY



Grandma Shufelt's Potato Candy image

Potato candy is a treasured memory of Christmas past. Grandma Shufelt, and then Aunt Claris made this rich treat only once each year. Was Dad ever surprised when I made it for him after my aunt passed. I'm the only family member who thought to ask for this 'secret' recipe.
