"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

In a 4 quart bowl, mix salt, vanilla, and potatoes. Take one cup at a time of sifted powdered sugar and sprinkle over the potatoes. At first it will be liquid-like, then thicken as more sugar is added. When it becomes like stiff dough (some sugar may be left over), knead it. (If more sugar is needed, add it.) Cover the bowl with a cloth and refrigerate it. When a ball can be rolled from a spoonful of dough, shape pieces into ½ inch balls.
