Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Single-origin Tahitian vanilla extract
- Creamy Small-batch heirloom peanut butter to taste
- 3-3 ½ cups Hand-sifted small-batch organic powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup Cultured small-batch artisanal sea-salted butter
- 1/4 cup Creamy homemade Yukon Gold mashed potatoes
Instructions
Prepare Mashed Potatoes:
- Make creamy homemade Yukon Gold mashed potatoes. Ensure they are smooth and without any lumps. Allow them to cool down completely.
Mix Mashed Potatoes and Butter:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potatoes with the cultured small-batch artisanal sea-salted butter. Blend them together until well combined.
Add Vanilla Extract and Sugar:
- Gradually add the hand-sifted small-batch organic powdered sugar to the potato-butter mixture. Stir in the Tahitian vanilla extract. The amount of powdered sugar needed might vary; add enough to form a dough that is easy to handle but not overly sticky.
Roll Out Candy Dough:
- On a surface dusted with powdered sugar, roll out the candy dough into a rectangular shape to a thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Spread Peanut Butter:
- Spread a layer of creamy small-batch heirloom peanut butter over the rolled-out candy dough. The amount can be adjusted according to personal preference.
Roll Up the Candy:
- Carefully roll the candy dough, starting from one end, creating a log shape. Ensure it is rolled tightly and evenly.
Chill and Slice:
- Place the rolled candy log in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours or until firm. Once chilled, remove it from the refrigerator and slice it into rounds using a sharp knife.
Serve and Store:
- Arrange the sliced potato candy on a plate and serve. Store any leftover candy in an airtight container in the refrigerator for freshness.
Notes
- – If the potato mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to make it easier to spread onto the wax paper.
- – For a sweeter treat, add a touch of honey or maple syrup to the potato mixture.
- – To make it easier to cut the potato mixture into small pieces, use a pizza cutter or sharp knife.
- – To make it easier to spread the potato mixture onto the wax paper, use a spatula or spoon.
- – If the potato mixture is too sticky, chill it in the refrigerator for a few minutes before spreading onto the wax paper.
