Is this the one?
1/2 c. mashed potatoes (without butter or milk added) - plain
1 lb. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. peanut butter
Put mashed potatoes into a bowl, slowly add 1 pound powdered sugar. Keep beating and add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla. Beat good.
Place half of the mixture onto a sheet of plastic wrap sprinkled with a little powdered sugar. Do the same with the other half. Roll them out into a rectangle shape 1/8 to 1/4 inch thick.
Spread creamy peanut butter over each half and roll up carefully and cover tightly with the plastic wrap you rolled it out on. Keep in refrigerator overnight, then slice after unrolling the paper off. Keep what you are not eating right away tightly covered and in refrigerator.Does anyone have a recipe for potatoe candy?

In a medium bowl, beat the butter and cream cheese together until smooth. Add the vanilla and confectioners' sugar; beat until smooth. Using your hands if necessary, mix in the coconut. Roll into balls or potato shapes, and roll in the cinnamon. Place onto a cookie sheet and chill to set. If desired, roll potatoes in cinnamon again for darker color.

Reviewed on Mar. 16, 2005 by Mallinda These are so cute! I surrounded a plate of Irish Soda Bread with them. I had to explain what they were, since they do look a little odd, but once the group knew what they were they dove right in until they were gone. The taste is different and good, and they are a great touch for St. Patrick's Day. I would recommend chilling the mixture for about five minutes before forming the potatoes, then chilling them again for a few minutes before rolling them in the cinnamon. They keep their irregular potato shape better that way.

Reviewed on Mar. 18, 2006 by Fetch We have grown up enjoying these sinful good candies and find this recipe able to produce ';Irish P's'; as good as those made by a local candy company known for these ';Patty's Day'; treats. I used some butter to grease the palms of my hands for rolling and I place the mixture back in the fridge for a few minutes once it starts to get too sticky to roll cleanly. We like the sharp contrast of the pure cinnamon coating with the creamy sweetness of the candy. A little powdered sugar mixed in with the cinnamon will reduce that sharpness, for those that don't. Prior reviews that have noted a ';too buttery'; taste must not have creamed the butter and cream cheese thoroughly. I cream the two of them together in one of my large stainless mixing bowls using using the back of a large 13.5'; stock spoon until the color is uniform. I also combine the vanilla using this method. An electric mixer is almost a required item to combine the powdered sugar, unless you are really up for a work out with you wire whip! Enjoy
