POTATO JOYS

By punk

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup unseasoned, well-mashed cooked potato
• 3 cups powdered (confectioners) sugar
• 1 cup flaked or shredded coconut
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
• 3 tablespoons butter

Preparation

Step 1

Bake or microwave the potato until a fork pierces it easily. While the mashed potatoes are still hot, beat in the powdered sugar and coconut; then add the vanilla extract. Press into a lightly greased 8-inch square pan; set aside.

In a saucepan over low heat, melt chocolate and butter, stirring occasionally. When melted, pour over top of the potato mixture. Refrigerate until set and then cut into squares. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
