Ingredients
Always check ingredient packaging for allergens and dietary suitability. Any nutrition or dietary labels are estimates and not a substitute for professional advice.
Method
Combine mashed potatoes and vanilla.
Adding one cup at a time, blend in enough confectioners' sugar to form stiff, non-sticky dough. (Just how much sugar is needed will depend on moisture of potatoes. Baked potatoes tend to be drier than boiled; leftovers tend to be drier than fresh.)
Working with about 1 teaspoon of mixture for each candy, shape into small irregular spheres (like new potatoes) and set out on wax paper to dry slightly before coating.
Toss candies a few at a time, in a plastic bag with ground cinnamon.
Shake off excess cinnamon.
Store candies in cool place or refrigerate.
