Irish Potato Candy

Method

1. I

   Combine mashed potatoes and vanilla.

2. II

   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.)

3. III

   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.

4. IV

   Toss candies a few at a time, in a plastic bag with ground cinnamon.

5. V

   Shake off excess cinnamon.

6. VI

   Store candies in cool place or refrigerate.
