Directions

1. 1. Cut the potato into chunks and mash while adding the vanilla.
2. 2. Add the powdered sugar and coconut a little at a time until fully incorporated and the mixture is thick.
3. 3. Form the candy into two equal balls, wrap in cling wrap, and refrigerate for an hour.
4. 4. Sprinkle powdered sugar on a sheet of waxed paper and roll out the candy, one ball at a time, to form an 8 inch square.
5. 5. Note: Set a cup of room temperature water near where you are going to roll out the candy. With a little practice you will find that you can repair cracks, add pieces back in then roll them out again, by wetting your fingers and rubbing them on the dough.
6. 6. Spread each square with peanut butter, covering the entire surface.
7. 7. Roll the candy into a log like a jelly roll. Wrap each roll in waxed paper and refrigerate for 2 hours or until firm enough to cut.
8. 8. Slice the logs into 1/2 inch slices and serve. Store the leftovers in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
