Ingredients
- 1 russet potato 5 – 5 1/2 ounces, peeled and cubed
- 6-8 c confectioners' sugar adjust based on consistency
- 1/2 c creamy peanut butter
Instructions
- First, peel the potato. Cut it into cubes. Then boil the potato until it becomes tender, which usually takes 10 minutes.
- Once the potato is cooked drain any water. Proceed to mash it until it becomes smooth, with no lumps.
- Next, gradually add sugar to the mashed potato while mixing it together. Keep adding until you achieve a dough consistency.
- Take a sheet of parchment paper. Roll out the dough on it to a thickness of 1/4 inch.
- Evenly spread peanut butter over the rolled-out dough.
- Starting from one end carefully roll the dough into a log shape, all the way to the end.
- Place the log, in the refrigerator. Let it chill for at least 2 hours. This will help firm up the dough.
- Remove the log from the refrigerator. Cut it into slices approximately 1/2 inch thick. Now your delicious creation is ready to be served!
