Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1/3 cup peeled, cooked, and mashed russet potatoes. (about 1 large potato)
1 tablespoon milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon table salt
6 to 7 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
Directions:
Directions:
Beat mashed potato and next 3 ingredients at medium speed with a heavy duty electric mixer for 2 minutes. With mixer on low (unless you want to clean up powdered sugar all over the kitchen) beat in 6 cups powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time. (When I use powdered sugar, I sometimes mix it in by hand just to get it moist so it doesn't fly everywhere, then turn on the mixer.) Slowly add up to more of powdered sugar, to form dough.

Gather dough into a flat ball; dust with powdered sugar. Roll to 1/8 inch thick on parchment paper and cut into a 12x10 inch rectangle. Generously sprinkle powdered sugar over dough, and place a piece of parchment paper over rectangle. Invert/flip rectangle; discard parchment paper on top.

Spread peanut butter over dough. Starting at 1 long side, tightly roll up candy, jelly roll style, using parchment paper as a guide. Wrap roll in parchment paper and freeze 1 hour. Cut into 1/4 inch thick slices and serve. Refrigerate sliced candy in an airtight container. Makes about 1 doz.

Personal Notes:
Mama use to make this at Christmas. It is delicious. Obviously she made more than one recipe, because at the Corrie household, one recipe wouldn't be near enough...It would have never made it past daddy.

Thank you to Janene for finding the recipe in one of mama's cookbooks.
