Peanut Butter Mashed Potato Candy Recipes

3 INGREDIENT OLD FASHIONED POTATO CANDY (NO BAKE)

Steps:

• Place potato in a smal pot, cover with water, and boil until very tender. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Mash (or use a hand mixer) until smooth and lump-free.
• Add 4 cups powdered sugar and mix until blended (will be a sticky mess and this point). If opting to use vanilla, mix in now. Mix in more powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time, until mixture is very thick (slightly thicker than cookie dough).
• Lay down a large sheet of wax paper and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar. Transfer candy mixture to the wax paper and sprinkle the top with more powdered sugar. Roll out to 1/4 inch thick rectangle.
• Spread peanut butter evenly over candy. Roll tightly (long side toward long side), then wrap in the wax paper. Cut in half crosswise and put the two halves inside a large resealable bag. Seal the bag and chill for at least 30 minutes until firm, or until about 30 minutes before ready to serve.
• Unwrap candy and slice into 1-inch thick slices and serve or store in airtight container, chilled, up to 2 weeks.

PEANUT BUTTER POTATO CANDY

Steps:

• 1. Combine mashed potatoes, milk, vanilla extract, and salt in a bowl. Stir confectioners' sugar into potato mixture until a dough consistency is reached.
• 2. Refrigerate dough until chilled, about 1 hour. Sprinkle confectioners' sugar on a cutting board or waxed paper.
• 3. Roll dough into a large rectangular shape on prepared surface. Spread enough peanut butter on top layer of dough to cover. Roll dough into a jelly roll shape; refrigerate roll for 1 hour. Slice dough into pinwheels to serve.

GRANDMA'S POTATO CANDY

Steps:

• Place the cooled mashed potatoes into a large bowl. Add the butter and beat with an electric hand mixer until smooth. Add the vanilla and stir in until combined.
• Slowly add in the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time, fully mixing in the first cup before adding the next. How much you use depends on how watery your mashed potato is as well as humidity, etc.
• You want the consistency to be like cookie dough that you can roll out. When you put a little bit in your fingers you should be able to press and mold it together.
• In this step, you have to work pretty quickly because it can dry out. Layout a large piece of wax or parchment paper, dust it generously with powdered sugar. Place the potato mixture on the paper, add a generous amount of powdered sugar on top.
• Roll it out to ¼ inch thick. Try to get this into a rectangle shape as well as you can.
• Smear the peanut butter all over the top leaving a half-inch border.
• Tightly roll into a long log. Place on a piece of plastic wrap and roll the log up and tuck the ends under. Place in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to set.
• Unwrap on a cutting board and cut into ¼-½ inch slices to serve.

PEANUT BUTTER MASHED POTATO CANDY RECIPE

Steps:

• Prepare the mashed potatoes and set them aside to cool.
• In a large bowl, mix together the mashed potatoes, powdered sugar, and vanilla until a dough forms.
• On a clean surface, add a light dusting of powdered sugar, then roll the dough out into an even 1/4" thick layer.
• Heat the peanut butter for 15 to 30 seconds to make it easy to spread, then spread over the prepared dough evenly.
• Carefully, roll the dough into a log.
• Cover or wrap in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Slice before serving.

MASHED POTATO-PEANUT BUTTER CANDY

Steps:

• Combine the mashed potatoes and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a large bowl. Add 4 cups confectioners' sugar and stir with a wooden spoon. Stir in the remaining 2 to 4 cups confectioners' sugar, 1 cup at a time, until the dough is stiff and dry. (The amount of sugar will depend on how starchy your mashed potatoes are.) Knead with your hands to bring the dough together.
• Dust a large sheet of parchment paper with confectioners' sugar. Transfer the dough to the parchment and roll into a 12-by-14-inch rectangle, about 1/4 inch thick, dusting with confectioners' sugar if the dough gets sticky. (Refrigerate for a few minutes if the dough gets too soft to roll.) Spread the peanut butter evenly over the dough. Spread a long narrow strip of umeboshi paste on top of the peanut butter, about 3 inches in from one of the long ends. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Starting with one of the long ends, roll up the dough like a jelly roll, using the parchment to help you. Turn seam-side down and slice into thin pieces.

MAINE POTATO CANDY

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the first 5 ingredients. Line a 9-in. square pan with foil; butter the foil. Spread coconut mixture into pan. Cover and chill overnight. Cut into 2x1-in. rectangles. Cover and freeze. , In a microwave, melt candy coating; stir until smooth. Dip bars in coating; allow excess to drip off. Place on waxed paper to set. Store in an airtight container.

MASHED POTATO PEANUT BUTTER CANDY

Steps:

• Combine mashed potato, powdered sugar, milk and vanilla in a medium bowl.
• Add powdered sugar a little at a time until the mixture reaches the thickness of pie dough. You will need to use clean hands to kneed the dough until everything is fully incorporated. Use a little more or less of the powdered sugar until the desired texture is met. If it becomes too stiff, add one tiny drop of milk at a time until the desired texture is met. I wish it were more of an exact science, but it's not. :).
• Spread waxed paper onto your work surface and liberally dust with powdered sugar. I use the waxed paper to assist in rolling. Please note if you use a plain work surface dusted with powdered sugar, it's much more difficult to roll it up due to the dough's tendancy to stick to the flat surface (which can result in the dough tearing).
• On the waxed paper, roll the dough into a circular shape until 1/4-inch thick.
• Spread peanut butter evenly over the dough up to 1/2 inch from the edge of the circle.
• Carefully roll up like a jelly roll, using the waxed paper as a helpful tool.
• Place onto a cookie sheet covered with a clean sheet of waxed paper.
• Refrigerate uncovered until fully chilled (about three hours), and the outside of the roll becomes crusty.
• Slice roll into 1/4-inch pieces.
• Store candy arranged flat in an air-tight container with waxed paper between each layer for up to two weeks (or probably more--it's never lasted that long around our house). The candy will harden and become more brittle as it ages, and this is perfectly fine.
• The candy can sit at room temperature for up to three hours before becoming soft. To reach original texture, replace in refrigerator.

Transfer to large bowl., Using a stand mixer, beat potato until smooth. Leave only 1/2 cup in bowl (save remaining for another use). Beat in 4 cups sugar until smooth. Gradually add enough remaining sugar until dough forms a ball., Divide dough in half. On a surface dusted with confectioners' sugar, roll half of dough into a 10x7-in. rectangle. Spread 1/4 cup peanut butter to within 1/2 in. of edges. Roll up jell-roll style, starting with a long end. Cover and refrigerate until firm, at least 1 hour. Repeat with remaining dough and peanut butter. Cut into 1/4-in. slices. Store in the refrigerator.
