Ingredients:

  • 1 small Potato (the size of an egg or as close to as possible)
  • 1 lb. box. Confectioners Sugar (sifted)
  • Peanut Butter (any style)

Directions:

Boil the potato till complete cooked. When done, while potato is hot, in a large bowl, peel it and mash it. Immediately, add the sugar and knead into dough. Roll it thin on wax paper, either into a circle or rectangle. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter over the entire potato dough. Roll it up as you would a jelly roll. Wrap in waxed paper & chill for 30 minutes. Slice and store in an air-tight container.

**This is quick & good. Mom used to make this. Great gift idea especially if you're short on funds.
