I made this exactly to the instructions and although I was skeptical because the dough was so dry before baking, it turned out really yummy. The cream cheese filling and fruit serve to moisten the dry baked dough and make it a great combination. I actually made this recipe using the Pillsbury premade sugar cookie dough as well and brought both to a party and every liked the fruit pizza made from scratch versus the premade cookie dough. The cookie dough was too mushy and soggy.

Awesome Irish potatoes! This recipe is just like the ones I remember getting from a bakery in Pennsylvania (Philly area). I actually made a bunch for a party and used amounts the recipe says to use for 120 servings. It sounds like alot but it definitely didn't make 120 balls. I used 1 cup less of confectioners sugar because of the reviews here saying the recipe was too sweet. I also added 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the recipe. One tip is to not use a lot of cinnamon in the bag. Only put maybe 1-2 Tablespoons in the bag and place about 6 or 8 balls in it and shake. When I placed all of the recommended cinnamon in the bag the potatoes had too much on them and tasted awful, a mouthful of cinnamon. ick. One other tip is to have one hand slightly wet with water---when rolling this keeps the balls moist and allows them to roll up nicely. Great recipe overall!!
