Potato Candy

One small potato

One bag of powdered sugar

Peanut butter

Boil potato with the skin on.  Take out of water and peel.  Mash potato in a large bowl.  While mashing, add powdered sugar, a little at a time.  Keep mashing with fork, and keep adding sugar.  Mixture will become gummy at first, and then turn into a stiff, rollable dough.  When stiff like playdough, take out of bowl and put on a sugared surface.  Roll out to about 1/8 in. thick.  Spread on peanut butter.  Take spatula and roll the dough over using small rolls.  Use sugar to keep from sticking.  After it is rolling into a tube like shape, flatten to about 1 inch thick.  Cut into small strips with knife, then into small squares.  Place in refrigerator to set.  This makes a very rich candy.
