Dutch Potato Candy

Submitted to recipestogo.com by Bill Young in memory of Grandma R.

This is a recipe that has been handed down for three generations, that I know of.

1 small potato
Confectioners' sugar
Bittersweet chocolate
Plain toothpicks
Wax paper

Boil potato until tender. Peel off skin and mash. Add confectioners' sugar until a stiff dough is formed. Roll into small dice shaped candies. Insert wooden picks, setting aside until all are formed.

Melt bittersweet chocolate in double boiler. Next dip all candies in chocolate and place on wax paper until set.

NOTE: Do not use sweet or semisweet chips (will taste too sweet).
