Old Fashioned Potato Candy

Ingredients

• 1 small russet potato, peeled and chopped 
• ⅔ cup cookie butter, nut butter or nutella
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 6 to 7 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

1. In a small pot of boiling water, cook the potato until tender. Drain and transfer to a bowl; mash until smooth and lump-free. You’ll need a ½ cup mashed. Allow to cool slightly, but still warm. 
2. In a extra large bowl, combine cooked potato and 2 cups of the powdered sugar until blended (at this point it will be very loose.) Stir in the vanilla. 
3. Continue to add 1 cup of the powdered sugar at a time until the mixture forms a putty-like dough. Shape into a round. 
4. Transfer the dough onto an 18x12 sheet of wax paper sprinkled with powdered sugar; sprinkle the top with a little powdered sugar. Use a rolling pin to roll into a rectangular shape, about ¼-inch thick; trim to form straight edges. 
5. Spread an even layer of nut butter over the surface of the candy. Slowly roll the candy from one long edge to another. Wrap with the wax paper, cut in half. Place in a resealable plastic bag and chill until firm, about an hour. 
6. Slice rolled potato candy into ¾ inch thick pieces and enjoy!
