Potato Candy

INGREDIENTS:
2 pounds of confectioner's sugar
1 small potato
1 cup of peanut butter

DIRECTIONS: Boil the potato until cooked soft, drain, and cool to touch. Remove thepotato skin and mash the potato, adding the sugar 1/2 cup at a time toform a stiff, smooth dough. NOTE: sugar acting with starch will form asyrup. Roll the dough out on a sugared surface until it is 1/4" thick orless. Spread the peanut butter evenly over the dough top surface. Rollup the dough like a jelly-roll. Using sugar, if needed, to stick theroll together. Cut the roll into 1/2" slices and place on a platter,cover and serve chilled. Note: The candy will look like white and beigecinnamon roll swirls. This is a very rich flavor candy. Servings willdiffer with potato size. Remember to use a smaller amount of potato toget started with --hot temperatures will require more sugar to form thedough. The chemical reactions make this an excellent Science Experimentand Culinary Learning Adventure.
